This project has originated as a safety improvement (noting the current sighting lines are currently unobstructed with low level grass).
During detailed design, the Maldon-Tip Road entrance to the intersection was highlighted as a risk required to be mitigated. The Maldon-Tip Road gravel path will be redirected for road users to turn right onto Maldon-Lockwood Road, to ensure vehicles approach from behind the Maldon-Lockwood Road stop line to improve sighting distances and safety at the level crossing.
To close off the existing gravel path, V/Line, VGR and Council have worked together to identify possible fence options. The currently preferred option includes post and rail fencing which delineates the vehicle movements outside the area, and maintains the heritage feel of the area and railway (as shown).
