Boggo Road and Southern Area construction update - June and July 2025
Construction of the new Boggo Road station canopy is progressing well, with ongoing installation of skylights, roof sheeting and structural steel. Cladding of the station’s external walls is now set to commence.
In June, the Boggo Road station will bid farewell to ‘Cliff Hanger’, the tower crane that has been a fixture of the Boggo Road skyline, which will be progressively dismantled and removed from site.
Underground, installation of ventilation and air conditioning systems continues in the back of house areas. Installation of platform screen doors and escalators are now complete and passenger lifts ready for delivery.
Work to construct the Yamma Bridge is progressing well, with ongoing concrete pours, kerbing, and painting. External bridge painting is also underway, alongside the installation of the steel canopy and protective screens.
What to expect during construction:
- Out-of-hours works, including hammering, water blasting, steel cutting, drainage works and concrete pumping
- Potential noise, dust, and vibration from construction activities both underground, in the tunnels and on the surface of the site, including outside of standard construction hours
- Out-of-hours deliveries of equipment and oversized materials via Boggo Road, Joe Baker Street, Peter Doherty Street, Railway Terrace and Kent Street requiring stop and hold traffic arrangements, movement of plant and crane lifts
- Ongoing intermittent lane, road and footpath detours and closures at Boggo Road, Joe Baker Street and Peter Doherty Street, Rawnsley Street, Railway Terrace, Dutton Street and Kent Street

Rail corridor work – June / July 2025:
From Saturday 28 June to Friday 18 July, 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. But building Cross River Rail means changes to travel and transport services during construction. Plan your journey by using any of the links below:
General construction hours:
- Boggo Road station construction hours are 24 hours Monday to Friday and 6:30am to 6:30pm on Saturdays unless advised
- Southern Tunnel Portal and pedestrian and cycle bridge construction is undertaken 24 hours, seven days a week. This includes work during weekend rail corridor closures
