(b) Yes. The cost of building the portion of the Fremantle Road tunnel required for the South West Metropolitan Railway [SWMR] is included in the total New MetroRail budget of $1,419 million. (c) Construction time is dependent on the final schedule adopted when the design and construct contractor is appointed.
