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.
Excavation of the service tunnel between the new underground cavern and the services building shaft is also expected to be completed this month. Construction of the new services building has started now that excavation of its underground levels in the shaft is finished. Shaft excavation for the underground levels of the new station building is ongoing.
From early December 2021 until early February 2022, the Cross River Rail Tunnel & Stations contractor will construct a cross passage beneath the rail corridor near Brisbane Grammar School.
As part of the Brisbane Transit Centre demolition, the original coach deck which formed the roof of Platform 2 at Roma Street station was removed. Between late November 2021 and mid-2022, the project will reinstate the platform and install a permanent new roof canopy.
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).
