COMMUTERS are being advised to plan ahead this winter, with major upgrades set to begin on the Gippsland Rail Line. Upgrades between Pakenham and Traralgon will progress while coaches replace trains from July 27 to August 8 for level crossing removal works. Works will include drainage improvements between the new and existing tracks at Bunyip and Longwarry, and trenching works to make way for level crossing upgrades. Meanwhile, the third and final stage of the Princes Highway East upgrade continues, with the foundations for the new rail bridge over the rail line in Kilmany going in this winter. In order for crews to safely carry out these works, coaches will replace trains between Bairnsdale and Traralgon from the last week of June and into July. The Princes Highway East upgrade is expected to be completed by late 2023.  Maffra Indoor Bowls Club will host a Soup and Sandwich luncheon prior to an afternoon of indoor bowls tomorrow, Wednesday, May 25, 2022, at 11.30am.
