Five years of Metro Tunnel works

Five years after work began on the Metro Tunnel, the third and fourth tunnel boring machines (TBMs) are being assembled before starting work on Victoria’s biggest public transport project.
Works are ramping up at Anzac station where TBMs Millie and Alice - named after Victoria’s first female MP and a First World War hero - are being assembled at the site of the new Anzac Station under St Kilda Road.
Over the coming months, each TBM piece will be lowered into the station box and the two machines will be assembled piece-by-piece. Once assembled and tested, and the station box is fully excavated, the TBMs will begin digging towards the Metro Tunnel’s eastern entrance in South Yarra.
