The new Cross River Rail underground station will see Roma Street become Brisbane’s most connected transport precinct.
A new underground station at Roma Street will link passengers with the existing suburban bus and rail networks, the Brisbane City Council Metro services, as well as regional and interstate bus and train services.
The Roma Street team is expecting to complete excavation for the services building this month allowing the team to start construction of the new building. Excavation for the station building is ongoing. TBM Else has left the cavern and is on its way to the Northern Tunnel Portal in Spring Hill, with TBM Merle in the process of traversing (moving through) the Roma Street station cavern before also continuing its journey. The underground team will now continue excavating the passenger access tunnels, installing cavern inground drainage and starting to construct the permanent concrete lining of the cavern.
From late September 2021 until mid-November 2021, the Cross River Rail Tunnel & Stations contractor will construct a cross passage located beneath Emma Miller Place.
From mid-September 2021 until late October 2021, the Cross River Rail Tunnel & Stations contractor will construct a cross passage beneath King George Square.
The services building is an important structure for the project and will house the mechanical and electrical support systems for the entire Cross River Rail network. It provides all station services including power, water, heating and ventilation, and communications to the underground station via a 150m service tunnel or ‘adit’.
From mid-December 2020, the Roma Street station entrance will move about 15 metres east (toward the city).
