What works are happening?

Cross River Rail project works
Beerburrum to Nambour Rail Upgrade Stage 1 project works
European Train Control System project works

Ormeau rail facility works

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.
