Train station closures on the cards

The will be temporary changes Sunshine and Albion stations during the Melbourne Airport Rail build.

In a post on the Melbourne Airport Rail Facebook page, it said during construction, there will be some temporary disruptions to public transport in the local area.

“This will include temporary changes to Sunshine Station and Albion Station, in addition to some temporary closures of the rail line to ensure the safe and efficient construction of the project,” the post said.

“Any changes to rail or bus services will be communicated in advance and alternative transport arranged where required.”

A range of investigations and assessments will be undertaken as part of project planning to develop ways of managing and mitigating potential impacts during construction.

In general, construction will be undertaken during standard construction hours, which are 7am to 6pm weekdays and 7am to 1pm Saturdays.

Night works will be required at times for some elements of the project and this will be communicated in advance to those potentially impacted.

Further information on the project said there may be temporary and overnight closures of major transport routes including the Western Ring Road (M80) and Ballarat Road as part of the works.
