train lines across the network
By untangling the City Loop, the Metro Tunnel will benefit train lines across the network.
The Metro Tunnel will free up space in the City Loop to run more trains to and from the suburbs, by taking our busiest train lines through a new tunnel under the city.
That means more trains, more often across Victoria, with a less crowded and more reliable train network.
Work to build the massive 9km twin rail tunnels and five new underground stations is underway.
Updated station designs
Melbourne will be home to five stunning new landmarks when the underground stations for the Metro Tunnel open in 2025.
View the updated station designs and learn more about each station.
Archeological digs underway
The state’s biggest ever archaeological investigation is underway in Melbourne's CBD.
Digs will take place at our CBD station locations with opportunities for community participants.
