Removing a level crossing means relocating a road or railway line to a new bridge or underpass so that the two no longer intersect. The projects also bring opportunities for great urban design that renews and reconnects communities.
Under multi-disciplinary consultants SMEC, our team moved Melton Highway onto a bridge.
In urban-design terms, we conceived it as a local landmark that forms part of the geography of the area. It’s an identifiable built element and its hexagonal motif is a nod to Melton’s impressive natural landscape – specifically nearby Organ Pipes National Park.
