Starting underneath Adelaide Street at the Brisbane Square library and eventually passing just metres from blissfully unaware drinkers at the Criterion pub, the next stage of tunnelling works for Brisbane Metro is underway.
The tunnel is part of the Brisbane Metro projectBrisbane City Council transport committee chairman Ryan Murphy said the 213-metre Adelaide Street tunnel would provide "a missing link in Brisbane's public transport network" connecting the South East Busway and the Inner Northern Busway for Brisbane Metro vehicles and buses.
"The Adelaide Street Tunnel will run underneath one of Brisbane's oldest streets, in amongst a complex network of utilities, services and heritage buildings, including Brisbane City Hall. More information about the Brisbane Metro project is available at an information centre on Adelaide Street. A purpose-built drill rig is being used during construction to install more than 20 kilometres of steel canopy tubes, which will help form the tunnel's arched roof section.
