Station construction
Construction at Martin Place is split across two sites with temporary street-level working platforms over the excavation.
Construction activities include building an underground platform-to-platform connection between the existing Martin Place Station and the Sydney Metro Martin Place Station. This is mainly to be built by excavating new pedestrian tunnels from the Sydney Metro construction site.
