Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) East is powering ahead, with the $1.7 billion contract awarded to build the northern section of twin tunnels between Glen Waverley and Box Hill.

The Victorian government and Conduent are reportedly in a legal stand-off over amendments to their contract, due to additional costs and technical work required for the upgrade.
