Metro Tunnel (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

The Metro Tunnel (previously known during planning as the Melbourne Metro Rail Project) is a metropolitan rail infrastructure project currently under construction in Melbourne, Australia. It includes the construction of twin 9-kilometre rail tunnels between South Kensington (north west of the Melbourne central business district) and South Yarra (in the south east) with five new underground stations. The tunnel will connect the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines with the Sunbury line, creating a new cross-city line that bypasses Flinders Street station and the City Loop. From 2029 the line will also serve Melbourne Airport via a new branch line west of Sunshine station. The project will allow for the operational separation of various existing lines on Melbourne's rail network and increase the capacity of the system to allow for metro-style frequencies. The Metro Tunnel project includes the installation of high-capacity signalling and platform-screen doors. With the delivery of other associated projects including accessibility upgrades, the introduction of High Capacity Metro Trains, and the removal of all level crossing across the Pakenham, Cranbourne and Sunbury lines, will allow the corridor to run to rapid transit standards. The State government began planning in 2015 and enabling works commenced in early 2017. Sections of the Melbourne central business district, including City Square and parts of Swanston Street, were closed to enable construction of the tunnel and stations. Tunnelling began in 2019 and was completed in 2021. The project was originally expected to be completed in 2026, but has now been brought forward to 2025. The project is being delivered by Rail Projects Victoria, formerly the Melbourne Metro Rail Authority, at an estimated cost of 9to9 to 9to11 billion. (en)
都市隧道（英語：Metro Tunnel），又稱墨尔本都市轨道项目（英語：Melbourne Metro Rail Project），是维多利亚州政府正在为首府墨尔本建设中的一条南北纵贯中心商业区的双线地铁项目。该项目全长约9公里，投资约109亿澳元，将墨尔本城市铁路最繁忙的两条线路——西北区的Sunbury线和东南区的Cranbourne/Pakenham线通过隧道直接相连，不需要再经由市区环线。这条隧道贯穿后，将大大缓解环线铁路的压力，并将大大提升城铁系统的运输能力，预计高峰时段运力能增加390,000人次。根据进一步的计划，该项目将来会与正在筹划的机场线相连。 (zh)
