The entrance will now comprise 15 soaring brick arches. These are being constructed off-site and will be delivered to the station and installed over the coming months.

The updates also include the creation of a series of public grassed areas interspersed with tree planting, and retention of 15 more trees.

Besides, a separated, raised bike path will be created on the west side of Laurens Street while Station Lane will be widened to make more space for vehicles.

Transport Infrastructure Minister Jacinta Allan said: “Arden Station was where we launched our first tunnel boring machine almost two years ago, and with tunnelling now complete we’ll see the station take shape in coming months and years.

“The Metro Tunnel is a key part of the Arden Precinct and will open up this side of the city to business and residential use, bringing housing and employment opportunities alongside the growth of Victoria’s innovation economy.”

The Metro Tunnel project will link the Sunbury Line to the Cranbourne and Pakenham lines with five new underground stations, offering capacity for over a half million additional passengers per week at peak times.

It will also offer a future direct link to Melbourne Airport Rail.
