Stephenson Avenue Extension

The location of the existing short-term parking and passenger drop-off area will be used to build the new bus bridge. From this week, construction activities will begin to increase around this area to facilitate the relocation of this facility.

• A section of car bays in the southern car park will be fenced off from Wednesday 16 November to construct the new short-term parking and passenger drop-off area. An additional 70 car bays have been constructed at the eastern end of the existing southern car park to maintain car bay numbers. Access to and from the station will be unchanged.
• On Wednesday 30 November, the existing short-term parking and passenger drop off area will be closed and the new short-term parking and passenger drop-off area will be opened. Access to and from the station will be unchanged.
• There will be changes to pedestrian routes in the southern carpark over the next month, please follow the station access signs that will guide you to the station.

The existing pedestrian bridge is located in the area that is required to create a temporary bus ramp and is no longer required following the permanent closure and relocation of the Michell Freeway southbound off ramp.

• On Wednesday 30 November, the pedestrian bridge linking the southern car park and the station will be permanently closed and bridge demolition will commence. Access to the station from both the northern and southern station car parks will be via the existing bus ramp.
• A pedestrian path will be created through the construction zone to provide easier access for passengers to travel to and from the station.

The existing bike shelter is located under the pedestrian bridge that will be demolished. This will require the temporary closure of the facility.

• The bike shelter will be closed from Wednesday 30 November to Monday 5 December 2022. Temporary bike storage will be available in the motorbike shelter.
• Project personnel will be available during peak periods to assist people with shelter access and storage issues.
• To avoid damage to bikes, passenger should ensure their bikes are removed from the shelter no later than Tuesday 29 November 2022.

• Dedicated disability bays will be installed in the new short-term parking and passenger drop-off area.
• All pedestrian detours will have ramps installed at cross overs.
• Wayfinding signage will be placed on construction fencing where possible and only placed on the ground where it does not obstruct pedestrian access.
• Access to the station, from the west (Ikea side), is via an existing pedestrian detour on Cedric Street.
