Victoria Park-Canning Level Crossing Removal

The Victoria Park-Canning Level Crossing project is Perth’s first major elevated rail designed to improve public transport safety, create public community spaces and reduce traffic congestion.

The major project will deliver five new elevated stations at Carlisle, Oats Street, Queens Park, Cannington and Beckenham. Approximately six hectares of public community spaces, cark parking, bus and shared path connectivity are included in the project design.

To improve traffic flow and safety, six level crossings have been removed along the Armadale Line, and boom gates at all the level crossings between Victoria Park and Beckenham have been dismantled.

A new seven kilometre 'Long Park' will run under the elevated Armadale Line from Carlisle Station to Beckenham Station. It will include 14 public spaces with six hectares of recreational spaces and parkland. The spaces will include shared paths, public amenities, native landscaping and a public art trail.

Around four-kilometres of elevated rail on the project is now complete. The structures are made up of over 1000 elements including piers, L-beams and headstocks which will connect to the future elevated stations.

During the Armadale Line Transformation, the Public Transport Authority will also be undertaking major maintenance works between Kenwick and Sherwood stations as part of Rail Revitalisation Program.

The Armadale/Thornlie Line is shut between Victoria Park and Armadale/Thornlie stations until mid-2025 to enable these works.
