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 in Queensland, Australia. It is planned for a health, science and knowledge cluster and mixed-use precinct to develop around the station. It is expected to provide facilities to 23,000 people each weekday, making it the second busiest station in the state.
To be built as an underground station, it will consist of two platforms with connections to the existing Park Road station and Boggo Road busway station, both of which will be renamed and merged with the new underground station to be known by one name, Boggo Road Station. Construction commenced in September 2019, with it scheduled to open in 2026. The platforms are positioned 19 metres below ground.
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.
Construction
Because of the fractured ground conditions the station was constructed using a combination of open box and cavern construction. Roadheaders excavating the tunnel from Woolloongabba railway station reached the cavern in September 2021. 17,000 tonnes of concrete and 16,000 tonnes of steel were used during construction.
After an incident at the station construction site in July 2023, workers put down tools and marched through the streets of Brisbane raising safety concerns.
