About the project

The Metro Tunnel Project includes twin 9km tunnels that run from Kensington to South Yarra, and 5 new underground stations – Arden, Parkville, Anzac, State Library and Town Hall Station, which is located below this artwork.

It also includes a next-generation signalling system, allowing bigger and better trains to run safely closer together through the new tunnel. The Metro Tunnel will free up space in the City Loop and give passengers direct train access to new destinations across Melbourne.

About the artwork

The Metro Tunnel Project is a massive feat of engineering that has been documented at every stage of its construction. These photographs reveal the hidden beauty of the construction process, rather than just the progress of works: the intricate details, challenges, and achievements of the project.

The collection of photographs shown here offer an insight into the work happening beneath your feet, at the new Town Hall Station.
