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.
At the Roma Street station, tiling, cladding and crash barrier installation is complete, while inside the station, escalators and train information display boards are installed and being tested. Works across the Roma Street precinct are progressing with road resurfacing, footpath reconstruction and concrete removal ongoing across the site.
From Monday 10 August 2026, the new Roma Street busway platform 1 will open. Access to the new platform will be via new stairs and lifts located inside the Roma Street station entrance. Access to busway platform 2, train platforms 3–10 and the Brisbane Coach Terminal will remain unchanged.
Work is continuing on the northern side of Roma Street to finalise the footpath and driveway in front of the Western Services Building, with completion expected by mid-2026. To support these activities, staged changes to traffic, pedestrian and public transport will occur on Roma Street between Garrick and Countess streets.
From Monday 22 June 2026 for up to eight weeks, a temporary closure of one eastbound lane on Roma Street and the northern Roma Street footpath between Parkland Boulevard and George Street will be in place to reconstruct a section of the footpath.
From mid-March 2026, for approximately eight weeks, works will be undertaken to remove the acoustic shed and concrete slab, located at the corner of Roma Street and Parkland Boulevard.
From Monday 7 July 2025, access to Roma Street station will move 20 metres east (towards the city).
