Works will include curbing works on the Ararat Street and Doveton Crescent ends of the crossing, crib fencing works for the level crossing, and general signalling installation.

A splitter island will also be installed on Lydiard Street to prevent right hand turns into Ararat Street from Lydiard Street.

"These works will ensure that the road is ready to re-open to traffic as soon and as safely as possible."
