Interesting closure, This crossing served use on a busy main road up until around May 2023 when the Narriyu Bridge opened (The big bridge next to the crossing), Then fully closed in June after the roads around the bridge were built, signals remained at this crossing until the June-July 2024 Shutdown of the Waurn Ponds & Warrnambool Line. In June 2023, Lumps of dirt were placed on the road to stop car travel, Which when this crossing was filmed in June 2024, were really overgrown and made the whole crossing look deserted, overgrown and abandoned.
Sorry for the low light footage of this crossing, with its state and condition, I have prioritised other crossings over this.
