The team on the Metro Tunnel has recently reached significant milestones and achievements on the project. The different components and five stations of the project are progressing towards completion:

•  Arden Station continues to take shape with the last of the precast façade panels recently installed on the station entrance building. Fit out works on the station are underway, with a recent shift in focus to installing some of the station’s finer architectural finishes.
• The spotlight is currently on construction of Parkville Station’s Grattan Street main entrance, with the steel supports been welded together and will be lifted into place in the coming days.
• The first of the A/Beckett cavern arch concrete pours started at State Library Station, where the arch formwork was pre-assembled off site in five modules that were later installed onto the rail-based support structure inside the adit. The rail-based support is the structure along which the formwork will move to help facilitate future pours.
• With two new tower cranes now operational on Swanston Street, works can commence to remove the City Square’s famous ‘rainbow shed’ at Town Hall Station
• Subsurface landscaping works are underway at Anzac Station with the recent installation of strata vaults on the tram/train interchange platform.
