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 station fit-out is progressing, with artwork installation complete and tiling underway on the new platforms. Work continues underground and within the main station building, with a focus on mechanical and electrical fit-out, as well as lift and escalator installation.
From Monday 21 July 2025, Herschel Street will permanently close to vehicles between George and Roma streets. Work to modify signalised intersections, footpaths, cycle infrastructure and landscaping will take place throughout 2025.
From mid July 2025 for up to two weeks, work will be undertaken as part of changes to the traffic and pedestrian arrangement at the Makerston Street intersection. At completion of the work, a new signalised right-turn movement for vehicles will be available from Makerston Street onto Roma Street. These changes are being made in preparation for the closure of Herschel Street to vehicles between Roma and George streets.
From Monday 7 July 2025, access to Roma Street station will move 20 metres east (towards the city).
From Sunday 15 June for approximately two weeks, lighting installation work will be carried out on platforms 8 and 9. Work will take place between 9am and 3pm each day. Designated work areas will be established within each of the platform stairwells and on platforms. During this time, the access to the platforms will be maintained via both the stairs and lifts.
Throughout 2025, the Cross River Rail Tunnel & Stations contractor will continue construction of the permanent underground stormwater infrastructure including pipes, manholes and gully pits within the intersection of Roma Street and Makerston Street.
