Victoria Opposition leader Brad Battin promised to stop the construction in SRL if he was elected to the government before, and softened his position to say that the project would be “paused and reviewed”. If the entire eight machines are delivered and set out as planned, the first stage of the project will cost enough to be completed when the Victorians go to the polls.
Tunnel boring machines will be mounted by the Chinese railway engineering equipment group in Zhengzhou. Allan made the announcement after examining the same model machines used to build the Chengdu-Deyang Intercity Railway.
