Project Update

Rail customers are thanked for their continued patience during extended track closures throughout December and January.

The closures allowed a huge scope of work to be completed on supporting projects being delivered through the Cross River Rail Delivery Authority, with more than 300 hundred workers in action in the rail corridor.

Over 600 metres of mainline track was removed and reconstructed at the Mayne Yard stabling facility, 290 turnout points were removed and installed between Bowen Hills and Albion, while further south, the Rigid Overhead Conductor Bars (ROCB) were connected to the overhead lines at the Southern portal and accessibility upgrade works continued at Yeerongpilly, Salisbury and Moorooka.
 

 

Cross River Rail Delivery Authority CEO Graeme Newton thanked customers for their patience throughout the closures.

“A massive scope of work was completed during the Christmas and New Year period, much of which goes beyond the underground tunnels and stations that make up the core scope of Cross River Rail.

“These works require continuous and extensive access to the rail corridor and could not be completed safely or efficiently with trains on the tracks.

“We thank everyone for their understanding while this critical work was carried out.”
