Major works this Autumn

Public transport works this autumn

Work on major transport infrastructure projects may impact the way you travel around Melbourne and across the state this autumn 2026.

Public transport disruptions

As part of Victoria’s Big Build, the Frankston Line will be another step closer to being boom gate-free this autumn, with two more level crossings set to be gone for good in Mordialloc and Aspendale, and the new Mordialloc Station set to open to passengers.
