Changes to the Way You Travel

Construction of new stations, including Merrimac, on the Gold Coast line can mean changes to your travel. We encourage you to consider your travel options, plan ahead and allow extra travel time by using the links below:

What to Expect

  • Local traffic changes including intermittent lane closures and night works on Hope Island Road
  • Construction activities may generate increased levels of noise, dust, and vibration associated with the use of construction equipment. Every effort will be taken to keep noise to a minimum
  • Safety lighting and reversing squawkers will be in use; however, lighting will be positioned away from residential properties where possible
  • The use of machinery including elevated work platforms, excavators, trucks, compaction equipment, vacuum trucks, asphalting equipment, concreting equipment, line marking equipment, cranes, water carts, and other hand-held tools
  • Increased truck movements to and from site
  • Pedestrian changes in Mangrove Jack Park and along Hope Island Road. Please follow all relevant signage.

We appreciate your patience while we work to build the new Hope Island station.
