Saw it recently since there were closures through the city corridor and we had to take the exhibition loop to Roma St. It's coming along nicely from the outside, I'm personally very excited
Same with Jay, looked like it was nearly finished and that all there needs to be done is just installing furniture and stuff along those lines. I'd probably guesstimate that it will be done in time for next year's Ekka
i can't see it being completed in 2029 with how much progress has been done to me it likes 2 more years is needed because fit out has already started or is about to begin, but i guess the government knows more than us.
Assuming this comment is intended as sarcasm, I will add some factors that give a more realistic context. - Not all cities are the same. A hole in the ground isn't always the same thing not because of the hole, but because of all the things you need to dig through to make the hole (the different soil and rock types, surface vs deeper geology, plus hydrology which is a major factor when building in a floodplain city like Brisbane. - These challenges multiply when you are completing a project of a kind that hasn't been done recently (or ever) in Brisbane. Not only do you not have a base of experienced workers and engineers on hand, you have to rediscover a lot of the above realities about working in the Brisbane geological environment.
I was looking forward to this project being completed in 2025, but it has been put back to 2029. Why the delay? Exasperating! It's only 10klms long so it shouldn't take so long to be in service. Why is the government factoring in costs over a 25 year period? It appears the LNP are treating us like fools.
It's very unlikely to not be completed and running until 2029, more realistically it should be complete by 2026 with services likely running in 2027. 2029 was more of a politics call (to make the opposition look bad) than anything else from the contacts I know of in the industry.
AND THEY CALL HIM BIG JUSTICE CAUSE THAT WHAT HE SERVES!!!
Good stuff! How’s exhibition station going?

So when is it all opening? The media is blowing it out to 2029?!

government is overestimating so they can open it in late 2026 and call it “early”
Based on the length of time its taken, and the cost, Brisbane must be the first city in the world to build a subway it seems. Amazing technology!

still gonna have to wait until 2029 sadly.
does this video hurt the unions? i heard they are sensitive about this project.
You're thinking of every project 😂
Brisbane is my favourite city

probably trying to throw some blame so when they finish behind schedule they can say they where early
