The Brisbane Metro tunnel will travel just 213 metres under Adelaide Street, between George Street and King George Square, but will play a critical part in the transport network of the city. 🚌 See inside ➡️
Brisbane’s newest tunnel will finally link the Inner Northern Busway, which runs past the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, with the South East Busway that extends to Eight Mile Plains.
It will take buses from Adelaide Street and channel them underground to the King George Square station. Buses provide two-thirds of public transport journeys in Brisbane. “In Brisbane the vast majority of tunnels are dug through hard rock - projects like Clem 7 and Legacy Way - so this is an extremely delicate project and at any one time we are only metres away from car parks, and the foundations of other buildings,” he said.
