UGL Regional Linx will carry out scheduled maintenance on the Archer Road level crossing at Mullion Creek, upgrading it from a passive crossing to an active one with boom gates and flashing lights to improve safety.
The work is being funded through the Australian's Government's Regional Level Crossing Upgrade Fund (RLCUF) and the NSW Level Crossing Improvement Program (LCIP). Together, these projects will upgrade twenty-three high-priority level crossings in regional areas with high-intensity LED lights, bells, and retro-reflective boom gates to improve safety and reduce the risk of collisions and near hits.
The work will be completed in three stages:
- Stage 1 will involve resurfacing the level crossing and road approaches, and construction of a temporary level crossing, between 13 April and 15 May 2026.
- Stage 2 will involve installing new cable routes for signalling, boom gate foundations, and alight masts, between June and September 2026.
- Stage 3 will commission and activate the new lights and boom gates between September and October 2026.
The community will be notified ahead of any work.
