Another eight level crossings will be removed in Melbourne's north if the Victorian government wins November's state election.

An elevated rail bridge will instead replace the crossings along the Upfield Line in Brunswick and Parkville, the government announced on Monday.

Community consultation and further project design will start in the new year, with the crossings expected to be removed by 2027.

There have already been 66 level crossings removed across the state, with the government planning to remove a total of 85 by 2025.
