Two streets in the heart of Melbourne will be shut down for "many years" as work begins on a new underground rail station.
Parts of Franklin and A'Beckett Streets will be closed to build the new CBD North Station as part of the $11 billion Melbourne Metro Tunnel project.
"I know these closures will be disruptive but they will enable us to build the turn-up-and-go train system we need to stay the most liveable city in the world," acting public transport minister Jaala Pulford said on Monday.
