Boggo Road station construction update - April 2020
Site establishment activities and utility relocations continue at the Boggo Road station site as part of the Cross River Rail project.
Construction activities continue
Throughout April 2020 activities on site will include:
- installing a capping beam to secure the piles together
- starting excavation of the station box
- removal of excavated material from site by trucks
- installation of permanent site fencing
- delivery and construction of site office buildings and
worker facilities on Boggo Road - construction of internal roads and concrete paths
- earthwork activities
- machinery and equipment deliveries
- Boggo Road and Joe Baker Street realignment work.
During the delivery and installation of the site office buildings there may be short delays for pedestrians using the pedestrian pathway from Boggo Road Busway to Boggo Road. Every effort will be made to keep disruption to a minimum.
Outlook Park
During April, work will continue to relocate play equipment to the temporary Outlook Park location which will be located closer to Dutton Park State School.
Boggo Road Busway realignment
From late April, the Boggo Road Busway lanes will be partially realigned for a short distance in the vicinity of the Boggo Road busway station adjacent to Park Road railway station. This will enable a section of the Busway retaining wall to be safely demolished and further project activities such as excavation for the Boggo Road station ‘box’ to commence. Several lighting poles will also be relocated.
This work will be undertaken at night to eliminate disruptions to Busway services. Nearby residents and businesses will be notified prior to the night work.
Service relocations
Utility service relocation work on Joe Baker Street and Boggo Road will continue over the coming months. Some of this work will be performed by the relevant asset owner/s.
Activities will include:
- saw cutting sections of footpath and excavating trenches in Joe Baker Street and Boggo Road to install water and sewer infrastructure
- intermittent interruptions to local traffic and lane closures under the direction of traffic control
- temporary closure of all car parking spaces along the western side of Joe Baker Street for the duration of the work
- temporary pedestrian access changes along Joe Baker Street and Boggo Road. Pedestrians will be temporarily diverted to the walkway between Ecosciences and Boggo Road Goal.
Property access will be maintained at all times during work. Motorbike parking on Joe Baker Street will remain open.
