Boggo Road and Southern Area construction update - October and November 2025
Construction of the new Boggo Road station is progressing well, with the structural steel installation nearing completion prior to the final canopy pieces going into place. The team is also progressing works on the station’s future public plaza entryway, which will provide customers with a clear line of sight to the fare gates and lifts that will connect them to platform level.
Underground, fit-out works are progressing, with tiling underway and installation of the station’s gold panelling, baffle ceiling, and passenger lifts.
At surface level, the Yamma Bridge is undergoing fit-out work, with hand-rails, overhead weather canopy, pedestrian lift, safety frames and screens, and stairs being installed.
In the Southern Area, work continues to undertake earthworks to fill in the temporary decline structure. Tunnel fit-out worksare ongoing.

Rail corridor work – September/ October 2025:
From Saturday 20 September to Sunday 20 October, there will be track closures and travel changes on Beenleigh and Gold Coast lines as we work to upgrade the South East Queensland rail network. Cross River Rail won’t just transform Brisbane, it will transform the way we travel across South East Queensland. Building Cross River Rail means changes to travel and transport services during construction. Plan your journey by using any of the links below:
