Trinder Crossing level crossing upgrades

We are removing the Trinder Crossing level crossing between Railway Parade and Station Road, Woodridge. A new road-over-rail bridge will be constructed at Acacia Road, with new local road connections through to Smith Road. The new bridge will be closer to the relocated Trinder Park train station. 

Pedestrian connections will be provided over the rail corridor at Smith Road.

We are currently reviewing your feedback from the community engagement we held between November and December 2023 with findings to be released in early 2024. 

The procurement process started in late 2023 and we expect to appoint contractors by late 2024, subject to government approvals.

Construction timeframes will be confirmed once contractors have been appointed.
