Sixteen level crossing sites have now been upgraded with boom gates, flashing
lights and better signage, with a further four projects to be completed by the
end of the month.
The projects were funded as part of the Australian Government’s $150 million
Boom Gates for Rail Crossings Program – a key element of the $42 billion Nation
Building - Economic Stimulus Plan.
The Program will see boom gates and other safety measures installed at more
than 280 high risk level crossings around Australia.
