Works locations

What to expect if you live alongside the rail corridor

Temporary changes to the Curlew Street and Cobb Street car parks, Sandgate and at Deagon station. See local signage for details.

Cross River Rail won’t just transform Brisbane, it will transform the way we travel across South East Queensland. But building Cross River Rail means changes to travel and transport services during construction.
 

What to expect if you’re a rail customer

Residents along the rail corridor may see dust and hear noise associated with works (e.g. machinery, light vehicles and work personnel); and mobile lighting towers in work areas during night works.

All staff will be fully briefed about their community responsibilities in relation to minimising noise and disruption after hours.
