Yeronga station closure

Yeronga station will close from 19 April 2021 for approximately six (6) months as part of the Cross River Rail station rebuilds between Fairfield and Salisbury. The station is being rebuilt to increase accessibility and create a better transport experience for all customers.

Why is the closure of Yeronga station necessary?

  • The station closure allows for the reconstruction of the existing platforms to occur more efficiently and safely
  • Reduces the number of station and platform access changes for customers around active construction areas
  • Shortens the overall construction duration by approximately twelve months
  • Significantly less construction work will be required on weekends and night shifts.

StationLink will service two new stops at Yeronga station, on Fairfield Road, as well as two existing stops near Ovendean Street.
