Keon Park station has been demolished, affecting commuters across Melbourne’s north.
A construction crew of around 200 has demolished the old station building and platforms and removed old track and railway infrastructure.
Trains will resume running on the new city-bound rail bridge on Monday, January 22 , but shuttle buses will connect passengers to Ruthven and Thomastown stations while the new station is being built.
During this time, trains will not stop at Keon Park Station. A shuttle bus will run between Thomastown and Ruthven stations for passengers who need to get on and off at Keon Park Station.
This week, rail workers will connect the tracks on the existing Mernda Line with one side of the new elevated track, and commission trains for this new rail bridge.
Keon Parade’s boom gates will also be gone, with the new Keon Park Station open to the community by spring this year.
