Cross River Rail Delivery Authority

Cross River Rail Delivery Authority Brisbane's new underground. Once operational Cross River Rail will transform the way we travel across the whole of South East Queensland.

Cross River Rail is a much needed second river crossing at the core of the SEQ rail network, with capacity to run as many as 24 trains in each direction per hour. Not only will it unblock a bottle neck at the core of the current rail network and enable increased frequency of trains across the whole of South East Queensland, a second rail path through the CBD will also increase network reliability

and improve rail overall as a customer experience. The project includes a new 10.2km rail line that includes 5.9km of twin tunnels running under the Brisbane River and CBD; with four new underground stations at Boggo Road, Woolloongabba, Albert Street and Roma Street. The Cross River Rail Delivery Authority is also delivering multiple supporting projects and activities in conjunction with Queensland Rail and the Department of Transport and Main Roads, including accessibility rebuilds for eight surface stations; construction of three new stations on the Gold Coast; upgrades for stabling yards; track works and surface rail enhancements; and the introduction of a new world-class digital train signalling system. Journeys will be quicker door-to-door; there will be new stations in more convenient locations; there will be capacity to run more trains more often; and public transport will become a more viable option for the whole of our region, helping to ease congestion on our roads.

This week the final hoardings come down on the first stage of the Albert Street pedestrian zone that we are handing over to Brisbane City Council, to be included as an extension of the Queen Street Mall.

This area is immediately in front of the future northern entrance to the Albert Street station, which is a short hop to the Queen Street Mall, Uptown and Wintergarden retail precincts.

The next stage will be the section between Charlotte Street and Mary Street, right in front of the main station entrance. Which has already started to be transformed with new paving and trees 🌴🌴

Keep watching to see how what was just a render has become a reality.

Boggo Road is the latest of our underground station sites to commission its Tunnel Ventilation System (TVS) fans. Keep watching to find out how the fans stop the tunnels from getting hot 🥵

This is all part of the first phase of testing, making sure all the equipment that's been installed in the stations is working as intended 🛠️🚇
The TVS fans are just one of thousands of systems the need to be tested to ensure the underground station and tunnels are safe, reliable and ready for passengers.

Somewhere over a rainbow where overpasses fly 🌈🎵

These photos were captured during the fitout and as we lifted in the new 34 metre long, 54-tonne pedestrian footbridge with a 500-tonne crane 🏗️ Marking a huge project milestone for Merrimac station!

Merrimac Station is one of three new Gold Coast stations being delivered to better connect South East Queensland's growing population.

Don’t forget next week this will be a reality 📢 🚍

We've been busy testing the new permanent bus Platform 1 at Roma Street and from August 10 it will be open to passengers! You will be able to access Platform 1 via the new stairs and lifts inside the new Roma Street Station building.

Some construction works will be ongoing and we thank you for your patience as we deliver these upgrades. We look forward to welcoming you to the new bus platform. For more information head to the 🔗👇comments.

We were delighted to have 40 guests with us at Albert Street station last week and as part of the Brisbane Open House program.

The tour was led by the senior engineers who are delivering Albert Street station, joined by representatives from Hassell, the architecture firm behind the station’s design.

The attendees got to explore the future station from the entrance down to platform level, getting an up-close look at key features already in place, including the elevators, platform screen doors and architectural finishes.

Is it a bird... is it a train? 🦅🚂

Actually this is a track tamper flying through the air at Clapham Yard.

Every time we do a track closure this massive piece of machinery gets lifted in to do resurfacing works.

There's large scale works underway right now at the new stabling yard, which that will house new trains as we upgrade the SEQ rail network. Allowing us to run more services across every station and to keep up with our growing population.

In each of our four underground stations giant ventilation systems need to not only draw warm air from the underground tunnels but also bring in fresh air from the outside 💨🚇 These highly complex ventilation systems also need to undergo a rigorous and extensive testing regime to check they will do everything they need to do once trains are in operation.

Here's a behind the scenes look at how the testing and commissioning process begins with their installation ⚙️🛠️

Reminder 🏉‼️ Footy fans heading to the State of Origin decider tonight, make sure you plan your journey ahead of time.

Track closures are continuing this week to allow for critical works to be carried out while we work to build a better rail network.

Crews are lifting massive concrete pre-cast panels into place near rail lines at the Clapham Yard stabling facility. This can only be done safely and efficiently while trains aren’t running, which is why it's scheduled to happen during the quieter school holiday period.

Check out the video to see some of the major works underway during this closure.

Thanks for your patience, and GO QUEENSLAND! ❤️🏉
