What works are happening?
- Cross River Rail project works
- Beerburrum to Nambour Rail Upgrade Stage 1 project works
- European Train Control System project works
- Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail project works
- Loganlea Station Relocation project works
- Ormeau rail facility works
- General track maintenance
These project works are essential to upgrade South East Queensland's rail network as it undergoes a once-in-a-generation transformation to support our growing population.
The scale and complexity of these works requires a longer closure period to keep workers safe and complete as much work as possible.
