Sources report that a line in the state budget delays planned removals of two level crossings affecting Highett residents. The crossings are on Highett Road and Wickham Road. In earlier commitments, the removals were expected to be completed by 2029. The revised budget schedule pushes the timeline back, with the crossings now expected to remain in place until 2032. All accounts describe the change as a result of the state budget’s updated funding or planning arrangements, rather than a separate review or redesign of the projects. Residents who had been told the crossings would be removed by 2029 are now facing an additional three years before the work is expected to deliver the promised upgrades. The reporting is consistent across outlets, focusing on the specific location pair (Highett Road and Wickham Road) and the shift in expected completion from 2029 to 2032. No additional technical details about the broader project scope or alternative timelines are provided in the excerpts.
