The Victorian Goldfields Railway in conjunction with Mount Alexander Shire Council is in the process of upgrading the level crossing over Sawmill Road in Muckleford/Castlemaine.
The latest works follow the recent re-build on the Muckleford-Walmer Road at the Muckleford Station.
The purpose of the latest upgrade is to improve the safety of the crossing in Sawmill Road for both road and rail traffic and to improve the ride for road and bike users going over it.
The road over the crossing will be closed from 7am on Thursday September 12 to 4pm on Friday September 13.
Detours for road traffic will be via the Castlemaine township or via the Muckleford-Castlemaine and Muckleford-Walmer Roads.
Detours for bike track users will be via ‘Boundary Track’ and ‘Sawmill Road’ and suitable signs will be erected the day before.
Preparation works will be occurring in the days preceding the works – these may result in very short (less than five minutes) traffic disruptions.
