Victorian Government has announced that extensive geotechnical investigations are complete under the Melbourne Metro Tunnel project. Major work is set to ramp up next month on Australia’s biggest public transport project, valuated at USD 8.35 billion. “Melbourne needs the Metro Tunnel and we’re getting on with it. Geotechnical investigation is now complete and major work about to start,” Premier Daniel Andrews said.
The acceleration of Metro Tunnel works will coincide with a massive construction blitz across Victoria, which will affect services on the Cranbourne, Craigieburn, Frankston, Pakenham, Sandringham and South Morang lines.
There will also be disruptions on a number of regional lines, including the Geelong and Warrnambool lines which will close in mid-April to enable USD 3.37 million worth of track and signalling works.
