Work will be undertaken on a Level Crossing in a village near Petersfield as part of Network Rail’s railway improvement plan.

Liss Station Level Crossing will undergo work from 10pm on Friday, March 21 to 6am on Monday, March 31.

Signalling between Farncombe and Petersfield needs to be replaced and the crossing in Liss will be equipped with new and modern technology to improve the performance and reliability of the railway for the future.

There will be a road closure in place on Station Road throughout the duration of the works, with a signed diversion in place. Pedestrians will be able to cross the railway via the station footbridge and an accessible shuttle service will be provided to transport pedestrians with reduced mobility from one side of the railway to the other.

Due to the nature of the work and the machinery, some disturbance will be unavoidable. There will be loud noises, including warning sounds while workers test the new level crossing equipment. Network Rail has apologised in advance for any disturbance the work may cause.

The company added: “All colleagues working on site are fully briefed on working responsibly in the local community and keeping noise levels to a minimum. Where possible, we will look to reduce the disturbance through noise reduction barriers.”
