As part of Melbourne Metro Tunnel enabling works, the Route 58 tram service which previously travelled along Domain Road and Park Street, South Yarra, was re-routed to Toorak Road West. Fulton Hogan was appointed to construct the new tram infrastructure to be built on Toorak Road West between Park Street and St Kilda Road; the purpose being to maintain a direct connection from South Yarra to the CBD during construction of the Metro Tunnel Project.

The new stops are integrated, modern and accessible, providing an improved experience for passengers with shelters, seating, lighting and real time tram arrival displays. The new dedicated central tram corridor on Toorak Road West will facilitate more reliable journey times, while maintaining a lane of traffic in each direction.

The triple platform stop on St Kilda Road provides improved interchanges between tram services, helping to keep Melburnians moving during construction while Domain Interchange is rebuilt, and easing reliance on Domain Interchange once the new station is complete.
