The area between Vulture Street and Stanley Street in Woolloongabba, directly adjacent to the Woolloongabba Busway, was the staging area for the Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) and Roadheaders. The TBMs tunneled north from Woolloongabba, breaking through into the station caverns at Albert Street and Roma Street, finally emerging at the northern portal.
Woolloongabba station has reached a significant milestone with the successful installation of the first section of its steel canopy. Weighing in at 307 tonnes and spanning 60 metres by 40 metres, the canopy is made up of 1,070 individual components. Meanwhile, work continues beneath the station's surface, with ongoing electrical and mechanical fit-out on both the platform and mezzanine levels. Key installations include ventilation systems, lighting, platform screen doors, and lifts, all of which are integral to the station's functionality and passenger experience.
From early December 2024 to mid-2025, intermittent traffic and pedestrian changes will be in place on Main Street between Vulture and Stanley streets to support the installation of essential belowground utilities.
From 6:30pm until 6:30am nightly from Sunday 25 August to Sunday 1 September, the southbound lane of Leopard Street and footpath adjacent to the Woolloongabba station worksite will be closed to facilitate permanent utility service installation.
