Roma Street station Subway and Bus Platform Upgrades

Details of work

Station subway

Refurbishment works at the stair access to platforms 4 and 5, and platform 10 are underway. Access to the platforms will be maintained at all times with work on the stairs undertaken in stages. Please follow signage and take care when accessing the platforms.

The following activities will continue within the station subway:

• installation of hoarding around work areas
• installation of new feature artwork
• refurbishment of platform stairs and central columns using jackhammers and floor grinders
• reinstating site lay down areas.

Work is scheduled to occur between 6:30am and 6:30pm, Monday to Sunday, construction conditions permitting. Due to operational requirements of Roma Street station and Brisbane Coach Terminal, out of hours works will be undertaken between 6pm and 5am Monday to Saturday. Residents may experience an increase in noise.
 

Busway platform 2

Minor finishing works including, upgrades to power and lighting, reconstruction of columns and reconstruction of the platform ceiling will continue to take place throughout 2024. Bus services will continue as normal during this time. These works will occur Monday to Sunday from 11pm and 5am.

Due to busway operational requirements and for the safety of workers, construction will generally be undertaken outside the project’s normal working hours, construction and weather conditions permitting.
 

What to expect

During these works, access to platforms, lifts and the subway will be maintained with temporary and intermittent changes to customer access. Customers and the local community may notice an increase in construction activities and workforce, which may generate increased levels of noise, dust and vibration. Mitigation measures will be in place, where possible, to reduce impacts.

There will be intermittent use of concrete saws, jackhammers, grinders, small power tools, minor vibrating equipment, generators, concrete pumps, vacuum trucks and mobile lighting towers to light work areas at night.

Materials and machinery for subway works will be delivered and removed from site between 11pm and 5am via Parkland Crescent. Vehicle access through Parkland Crescent will be maintained under the direction of traffic control.

We appreciate your patience during construction and will continue to update you as work progresses.
