Franklin Street Melbourne, VIC 3000
Franklin Street’s streetscape is defined by the new State Library underground station entrance, which sits at the corner of Franklin and Swanston Streets and is framed by a recent redesign that narrows the road, adds separated bike lanes and creates a 1,250 m² linear park extending toward the Queen Victoria Market. The corridor’s modern arches and glass façade echo the Metro Tunnel’s “trinocular” design while preserving the historic Hoddle Grid layout of Melbourne’s CBD.
The station serves the Sunbury line and links directly to Melbourne Central, giving riders seamless transfers to all metropolitan lines, while Yarra Trams operate ten routes on nearby Swanston and La Trobe Streets. Pedestrians enjoy immediate access to the State Library of Victoria, RMIT University, Melbourne City Baths, Queen Victoria Market, Melbourne Central shopping centre and iconic retailers such as Myer and David Jones, as well as the Melbourne General Post Office and surrounding parks.
