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.
Both TBMs arrived at Roma Street station cavern in August. The team will now move the machines through the cavern and relaunch both on their way to the Northern Tunnel Portal in Spring Hill. The underground team will also continue to excavate the underground passenger access tunnels and start to construct the permanent lining of the station cavern this month. Above ground, excavation of the services building shaft is nearing completion and expected to be finished in the coming month.
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).
