Major construction at Town Hall Station in Victoria is complete, located under Swanston Street between Collins and Flinders Streets with a main entrance in City Square.
It includes a pedestrian underpass to Flinders Street Station via Campbell Arcade and Degraves Street subway, so passengers will be able to easily change between Metro Tunnel and City Loop services without tapping off.
The station will have three main entrances at City Square, Federation Square and inside the new Town Hall Place development on Swanston Street next to Young and Jackson.
It features a grand entrance hall below City Square with a roof supported by high columns shaped like tree branches and artwork titled Barerarerungar by Maree Clarke at the Federation Square entrance.
It also includes a trinocular design of three overlapping tunnels at platform level with a cathedral-like, 10-metre-high, arched ceiling above the platforms featuring chandelier lights designed and made in Melbourne.
Construction on Town Hall Station began in 2017 and required excavation as deep as a five-storey building.
Town Hall Station will open with the Metro Tunnel later this year.
