Due to operational requirements of Roma Street station and Brisbane Coach Terminal, high impact out of hours work will be undertaken between 6pm and 5am Monday to Saturday and includes activities listed above. Residents in close proximity may experience an increase in noise levels.
Platform 2
In October, work will commence on the publicly accessible side of platform 2 to upgrade architectural finishes. As part of these works temporary changes to the customer waiting area on platform 2 will be in place. Signage will be in place to direct customers.
The following activities will be undertaken:

Saturday and Sunday, from 8am – until 6pm
- installation of platform tiles

What to expect
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.
