Boggo Road railway station is a railway station currently under construction as part of the Cross River Rail project in the Brisbane suburb of Dutton Park. It is planned for a health, science and knowledge cluster and mixed-use precinct to develop around the station.[1] It is expected to provide facilities to 23,000 people each weekday, making it the second busiest station in the state.[2]

To be built as an underground station, it will consist of two platforms with connections to Park Road station and Boggo Road busway station.[3] Construction commenced in September 2019, with it scheduled to open in 2024.[4][5] The platforms are positioned 19 metres below ground.[6]

The station will provide pedestrian access between the Princess Alexandra Hospital and the Boggo Road Precinct, currently separated by road and rail infrastructure. This will be provided via a 480-metre-long pedestrian and cycle bridge.[7]

Construction

Because of the fractured ground conditions the station was constructed using a combination of open box and cavern construction.[6] Roadheaders excavating the tunnel from Woolloongabba railway station reached the cavern in September 2021.[8] 17,000 tonnes of concrete and 16,000 tonnes of steel were used during construction.[2]
