Cross River Rail’s underground stations are rising from the ground as the installation of station canopies begins across the project.
Three massive roof modules have been lifted into place at Woolloongabba.
The sections are being lifted into place by a huge 800-tonne crawler crane, giving the best sense yet of how the station will look at ground level.
Woolloongabba will be just minutes by train to the new Albert Street Station in Brisbane’s CBD as well as the growing health, science and education precinct at Boggo Road.
The Underground station is 27 metres below surface level and the platform is 220 metres for future capacity
Cross River Rail is a second river crossing at the core of the rail network with capacity to run as many as 24 trains in each direction.
Not only does this enable increased frequency of trains across the whole of South East Queensland, a second rail path through the CBD will reduce congestion, increase network reliability and improve rail as a customer experience.
