Cross River Rail (CRR)

Looks like it will only take about 1 and a half years at the very longest to complete construction. And they say that it won’t be open until 2029.

He is really thorough and has done a CRR video last year. I wonder if he will do Roma Street as well

We will probably find that the Roma Street station realm will be taking shape from April next year. I also expect platform 1 to be operational for the buses by then too.

The massive awning on Albert Street Station is starting to be installed.

The Vic Park and Ekka construction sites/depots have been pretty much cleared out and cleaned up.

We could see that whole area opening up along Albert Street by April, once the awning is up and in place.

Wow, the frame is going up quick :astonished_face:

So apparently, the Melbourne Metro tunnel is going to open early :thinking:

National Rail Safety Regulator signoff mentioned.

We’ve had a bit of discussion about when CRR might be opening, any thoughts?

There has been already lots of discussion of the why and why nots
