Elevated train tracks proposed between Caulfield and Dandenong
An elevated rail line between Caulfield and Dandenong could
become part of the Andrews Government’s upgrade of the Cranbourne-Pakenham
Railway corridor.
The plan for the sky rail was submitted in the designs
presented by an interested bidder in the tendering process for the works, which
will include the removal of nine level crossings.
The Government has stated that no final decisions has been
taken on the rail corridor, while the Opposition has warned of noise pollution,
divided neighbourhoods, and the absence of an electoral mandate.
According to the Level Crossing Authority, an extensive
community consultation on the proposed concept will commence once the preferred
bidder is confirmed this year.
