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.
With piling at the station building site nearing completion, excavation of the building shaft will start in the coming weeks. Station cavern excavation also continues underground as the project team prepares for the tunnel boring machines (TBMs) to cross the cavern in mid-2021 on their way to the Northern Tunnel Portal.
Due to recent wet weather and site conditions, relocation of the existing underground stormwater main in Roma Street will continue to late April 2021. Additional weekend work is required. Please see overleaf for more information about the scheduled weekend work.
Traffic and pedestrian changes will be implemented at the intersection of Roma and Herschel streets to improve safe access for the community during construction of the new Roma Street station.
Weekend work and traffic changes are required to deliver and assemble a 55-metre-tall tower crane to be used for excavation and construction of the new Services Building at the Roma Street construction site.
From mid-December 2020, the Roma Street station entrance will move about 15 metres east (toward the city).
As part of the excavation of the underground station cavern and adits, the Cross River Rail Tunnel & Stations contractor will soon commence controlled blasting at the Roma Street site.
From Monday 21 September, bus services will return to Platform 1 and 2 at Roma Street station.
