Trains have returned to the Mernda Line and are now running on two rail bridges over Keon Parade, following seven days of works on the rail line.
As buses replaced trains on sections of the Mernda Line, construction crews finished work on the concrete bridge structure, removing the old rail tracks and boom gates and continuing work on the new Keon Park Station platform.
The team also connected the new section of track to the existing Mernda Line at either end, along with installed lift shafts at the station.
The Keon Parade level crossing removal team has thanked commuters for their patience over the past week. To support local traders, commuters on replacement buses were offered tasty treats like muffins, donuts, and brownies from local suppliers.
Work will now continue on the road surface at Keon Parade as crews remove rail infrastructure, resurface the road, and complete line marking.
The road will re-open level crossing free on Monday, May 20.
Commuters are advised to allow extra time when travelling through the area.
