The Metro Tunnel Project is the biggest rail infrastructure project in Melbourne since the City Loop was built in the 1970s. It includes the construction of twin 9-kilometre rail tunnels between South Kensington station and South Yarra with five new underground stations.
Veris is up 16.1 per cent and shares are trading for 3.3 cents each in early afternoon trade.
