Overview
The Metro Tunnel will untangle the City Loop by taking three of the Melbourne's busiest train lines through a new tunnel under the city, creating space on the network for more than half a million peak passengers every week.
The project will create a new end-to-end rail line from Sunbury in the west to Cranbourne/Pakenham in the south-east, with high capacity trains and five new underground stations at Arden, Parkville, Anzac, and two new CBD stations - State Library and Town Hall - which will directly connect to the City Loop.
The Early Works Package for the Metro Tunnel Project delivered the contract to prepare the work sites for construction of the Metro Tunnel and five new underground stations, involving the relocation of utility services such as gas, sewer and water mains, demolition and road, bicycle and footpath changes.
The major works for the Early Works component commenced in early 2017, and the construction was completed in December 2018.
