[9] [10] [11] The level crossing removal will also involve the construction of a new station. [9] [10] In May 2023, construction on the project began. [12]

On 24 May 2024, Dublin Road level crossing and equipment was eliminated. Initially, Ringwood East station was originally scheduled to open to passengers on 5 July 2024. [13] [14] [15] [16] However, the opening was delayed and postponed to 8 July. [17] [18]
