Installing ramps at Hoppers Crossing station as part of the Old Geelong Road level crossing removal is “not feasible”, according to the Level Crossing Removal Project (LXRP).
The level crossing at Old Geelong Road, Hoppers Crossing is being removed as part of a $355.5 million state government project.
The project will result in the existing crossing being closed to traffic and a new road built over the rail line, connecting Princes Highway to Old Geelong Road.

A mermaid-looking woman is painted on the wall of a new pedestrian underpass near Carrum train station. Part-sea creature, part-goddess, she is surrounded by pastel-coloured waves that swirl and crash into golden sandbanks.
She is an ancestor of the Bunurong people, says Adam Magennis, a traditional owner and lead artist behind the mural.
Indigenous artists Eamon Roberts, a Kamilaroi man (left) and Adam Magennis, a Bunurong man (right) painted murals at the Eel Race Road underpass, as part of a push to incorporate more Indigenous culture and art into the level crossing removal program.
