This massive undertaking, valued at $34.5 billion, will span 26 kilometers underground through Melbournes eastern and south-eastern suburbs. The first phase, SRL East, will connect with existing lines at Cheltenham, Glen Waverley, Box Hill, and Clayton, reducing travel times and easing road congestion.
