There goes the boom: Boom gates have been taken down at Seaford Road as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project. Picture: Supplied
Gates gone as part of rail works moval of the boom gates being “an important step toward removing the level crossing for good”. To complete the road underpass, 16 Lshaped concrete segments up to 31 metres long and weighing 125 tonnes each were transported to the site over several nights, then craned into place and joined together in pairs to form the U-shaped viaducts that trains will eventually run inside.

Removing the Seaford Road level crossing opens the way for the $10 million revitalisation of Seaford which will improve safety, reduce congestion, and connect the community.”
