Fairfield Road Closure

Between 8:00pm Saturday 13 and 5:00am Monday 15 November 2021, UNITY Alliance will install sections of the new pedestrian overpass at Yeronga station.

Due to the nature and location of works, this work will require a temporary closure of Fairfield Road between Kadumba Street and Yeronga Street.

Motorists are advised to plan ahead and where possible find an alternative route to avoid the area and travelling via Fairfield or Ipswich Road.
