Yeerongpilly station accessibility rebuild update
Cross River Rail isn’t just upgrading Yeerongpilly station; we’re building a new station. The new station is being built to make the station easier to access and improve connections to the surrounding area, creating a better transport experience for all customers.
Yeerongpilly station is currently closed.
Major works at Yeerongpilly station are expected to be finished in late-2024, with the station to reopen to customers once all works and testing and commissioning activities are complete in early-2025.
The construction works at Yeerongpilly station will include:
- Demolition of existing platforms and construction of new, raised platforms including an additional third platform
- Demolition of existing station buildings and construction of a new ticket office, staff facilities and accessible public toilets
- Construction of a new entry point on Wilkie Street including shade canopies, seating, drinking fountain and accessible entry points
- Construction of platform canopies and installation of new station furniture including seating and bins, lighting and CCTV
- Track, signalling and overhead electrical line works in the rail corridor
- Identification and relocation of in-ground services
- Construction of accessible parking and kiss ‘n’ ride facilities on Wilkie Street
- Construction of an enclosed bicycle storage shelter and outdoor bicycle racks
- Construction of footpaths around station entry points, commuter car park and landscaping on Wilkie Street.
Throughout the station closure bus stops 004881 and 013058 on Wilkie Street will be temporarily closed with a temporary bus stop available on Green Street. The station kiss ‘n’ ride and car park on Wilkie Street will also be closed throughout construction.
Access during station closure
The Yeerongpilly station pedestrian overpass will remain open during construction, though temporary closures of either stairs or lifts (not at the same time) may be required periodically. Advance notification will be provided prior to temporary stair or lift closures.
Wilkie Street stairs closed
The Wilkie Street stairs are closed until late 2024. The lifts on both sides of the station and stairs on the Fairfield Road side remain open.
Timing is subject to construction and weather conditions.
