Cross Yarra Partnership (CYP) has been contracted by Rail Project Victoria (RPV), on behalf of the Victorian Government, to design, build and maintain the stations and tunnels for the Metro Tunnel Project. CYP brings together three of Australia's leading construction partners, Lendlease, John Holland, and Bouygues Construction, that possess the world's best experience in tunnelling, engineering and construction.

The Metro Tunnel Project will untangle the City Loop by taking three of Melbourne’s busiest train lines through a new tunnel under the city. It will create a new end-to-end train line from Sunbury to Cranbourne/Pakenham, with twin nine-kilometre tunnels and five new underground stations at Arden (to be renamed North Melbourne), Parkville, Anzac, and two new CBD stations - State Library and Town Hall - which will directly connect to the City Loop.

Inside this mobile machine, measuring in excess of 8m in diameter, sits the Operator who uses screens as an aid to constantly monitor the trajectory and driving progress of the tunnel. The Operator has a vital role on the construction site.
