Lara level crossing to close tonight

The McLelland Avenue level crossing will be closed for urgent repair works tonight

The Department of Transport and City of Greater Geelong will work together in a repair blitz to fix damaged sections of the road and rail line.

Locals wishing to cross the tracks will need to use McIntyre Road to the north, or Canterbury Road to the south until the works wrap up.

It’s expected the works will finish by 8am Sunday morning.
