Rowsley Crossing Loop construction complete

The Victorian government has announced the completion of construction on the Rowsley Crossing Loop.

Minister for Public Transport, Jacinta Allan, said the new works would support people living in rural areas.

“This crossing loop will help to deliver more reliable services for passengers on the Ballarat line by enabling trains to make up time from any unexpected delays,” Allan said.

“The Andrews Labor government’s plan to fix the Ballarat line and deliver more frequent and reliable services is delivering results.”

The new loop aims to reduce the distance between existing loops at Parwan and Bank Box, to provide for more reliable services.

Member for Bunninyong, Geoff Howard, said the funding came as part of a $518 million investment to duplicate the Ballarat line.

“We’re delivering outcomes and good news for Ballarat line passengers after a difficult few months,” Howard said.

“The Rowsley Station Road level crossing is now safer for motorists now that boom gates are in place and the service will be more reliable for passengers now that work on the loop is complete.”

The project also delivered critical safety improvements at the Rowsley Station Road crossing.
