Project Update

Cross River Rail has launched a new education program for budding engineers and architects of all ages to learn about Queensland’s largest infrastructure project.

The program includes Science of Tunnelling, where students can discover how Brisbane’s new underground will be built under the city. Students can also explore the Science of Tunnelling exhibition in the Cross River Rail Experience Centre.

The program and exhibition, which has been designed with the help of Cross River Rail’s senior engineers, is free and available to school groups as well as families who may wish to visit the Experience Centre during school holidays or on weekends.
