Progress

Work is underway on Brisbane's new underground

With major construction now underway at all of Cross River Rail’s main station sites as well as multiple locations within the rail corridor, our work sites are constantly evolving and changing.

Around Our Work Sites

Updates from around our worksites up to 10 March 2025 include:

Tunnels

The final section of the hydrant pipe installation has now been completed underground, while fit-out including installation of acoustic panels is continuing.

Underground stations

At Roma Street, gold coloured finishes are being applied throughout the station

At Albert Street, skylights were installed at Lot 3, providing a natural alternative and sustainable lighting for the station.

At Woolloongabba, roof canopy progress is tracking well, with roof cladding near complete and skylights to be installed soon, while the temporary support towers have been removed following the installation of the supporting columns.

At Boggo Road, the fourteenth and final escalator was installed.

Above Ground Stations

At Exhibition, rectification works continue to progress.

At Dutton Park, the station reopened to customers in October 2024, with key features such as lifts and pedestrian overpass operational, but construction to complete the rebuild is continuing this year.

At Yeerongpilly, station reopened to customers on Monday February 17 after a full accessibility upgrade.

At Moorooka, construction of new structures and removal of existing overhead line equipment (OHLE) have occurred, which have allowed work to begin on the retaining wall at Platform 3.

At Salisbury, the old platforms were demolished, while the western side overpass has been lifted into position.

At Pimpama, the eastern platform canopy lighting installation has commenced, while gap and timber filler has been installed on the eastern platform.

At Hope Island, the car park drainage installation is ongoing with blinding and chamber wall pours (to ensure a stable, level surface), trenching and pipe laying occurring.

At Merrimac, the Eastern Precinct FRP (Form, Reo, Pour) work for the retaining wall base slab and wall is progressing.

Train Stabling Facilities and Rail

In the Southern Area, the Rigid Overhead Bar Connector (ROCB) was connected to the Overhead Line Equipment (OHLE) at the Southern Portal during the December January extended possession.

In the Northern Area, an extended possession in February saw civil formation and drainage works and the installation of the new power equipment room occur. Testing and commissioning of the Northern Portal signalling was completed using a test train.

At Clapham Yard, the site office relocation is almost complete, with energisation and pre-commissioning testing also underway for Clapham’s power equipment room and signalling equipment room.

At Mayne Yard, fencing works at the stabling yard and the installation of drainage are ongoing while walkways construction has commenced. The installation of overhead line equipment steelwork is also progressing.
