Boggo Road and Southern Area construction update

Pedestrian and cycle bridge update

The bridge substructure is now structurally complete and ready for installation of steelwork supporting the pedestrian access stairs and elevators. Over the coming months, painting and instillation of the protection screen frames will take place. Works to pour the concrete deck slab which will form the surface of the future walkway will be ongoing via Joe Baker Street.
 

Boggo Road station update

In the cavern, rail track, platform screen door frames, and services are being installed. Within the station box, construction of the internal and exterior walls is progressing ahead of escalator delivery and installation. Above ground, construction of the new main station building is continuing, with the construction of the canopy roof structure to commence later this year. Delivery of precast concrete units, escalator segments and structural steel will be ongoing via Joe Baker Street, requiring intermittent stop and hold traffic arrangements.

Adjacent to the Eastern Busway, excavation within the site boundary will be carried out to install new utilities and construct a retaining wall. To complete this work, site boundary barriers will be adjusted requiring temporary partial lane closures of the busway during night shift under the direction of traffic control. During this work, the busway will remain operational and pedestrian movements through the precinct will be unaffected.
