Cross River Rail: Deep Dive into Brisbane's Subterranean Project
Update: 2025-12-20
Description
Cross River Rail project in Brisbane nears completion, but stations to remain empty for years due to extensive testing and delays. The projects revised delivery date is now set for 2029, with a cost increase to $19.04 billion. The state government attributes progress to increased productivity at worksites, despite a culture of violence issue linked to the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union. The project is well past its halfway point, with construction across four central business district stations largely complete. The next phase involves complex testing and commissioning, with parts of the Brisbane central business district to be closed for intensive street-level work. The project aims to create a giant underground boulevard to avoid a claustrophobic feel.
