Melbourne’s $12bn Metro Tunnel is expected to open in less than a year, according to its builder, who let the new completion date slip at a business lunch.
Joe Barr, the chief executive of construction giant John Holland, told a Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry event on Tuesday that the tunnel would open in September 2024. Earlier this year the government had said it would open in 2025, which itself was a year ahead of the initial schedule.
