Standard work hours are Monday to Saturday, 7am–7pm, and any out-of-hours works are indicated below. All works will follow approved noise and traffic management plans, and every effort will be made to minimise impacts. For questions about project works, please email info@metronet.wa.gov.au or call 9326 3666.
Eleventh Road (until mid 2025)
Eleventh Road is now closed for 10 months between Gull Street / Lambert Lane and Bruns Drive east to enable the construction of the bridge. Works such as concrete pours, bridge panel wall installation, earthworks including backfill and compaction for the bridge structure, are ongoing.
The temporary closure is required to ensure works are undertaken as quickly and as safely as possible, minimising inconvenience to road users and nearby residents.
Road users will be required to use Church Avenue or Thomas Road to cross the rail line during the closure. Pedestrians and cyclists will not be permitted to access the closed section of Eleventh Road. Cyclists will need to follow the detour routes.
Access to Fletcher Park will be maintained via Stone Street, Moore Street and Mitchell Street.

Concrete pours, bridge panel wall installation, earthworks including backfill and compaction for the bridge structure, are ongoing.
Bruns Drive west (until mid-2025)
Bruns Drive West has been temporarily closed at the intersection of Eleventh Road until mid–2025
This temporary closure is in place to enable the installation of the southern Eleventh Road bridge walls as quickly and as safely as possible.
Bruns Drive West will have a reduction in road width due to the traffic control barriers on the northern verge. Traffic management will be in place for the duration of the work. Residents on the Bruns Drive slip road will have local access, and Bruns Drive west residents will enter and exit from Bruns Drive east.

Noise wall installation works (until late-January 2025)
The installation of the Noise Walls at Eleventh Road, Wungong Road and Butcher Road will be ongoing until late-January 2025, from 7am to 7pm, Monday to Saturday.
There will be increased vehicle movement within the rail corridor to accommodate these works. The piling works will be progress rapidly along the rail corridor with noise & vibration impacts to individual properties expected to last one day (subject to change). During the lifting and installation of the panels, works are not anticipated to be disruptive to nearby residents due to the low level of anticipated noise.
Western side of the Wungong Road rail corridor between Harber Drive and Seventh Road (until early-November until late-January)
Works will involve several essential activities, starting with the construction of the foundations for the noise wall, which involves piling—boring holes into the ground using a piling rig. Following this, the team will pour concrete and insert the steel posts for the noise wall, utilising cranes, elevated work platforms, and hand tools. Finally, the installation of the noise wall panels will complete the construction process.
Eastern side of the Eleventh Road rail corridor between Eleventh Road and Bruns Drive, Darling Downs (until early-December)
Works will include:
- inserting the noise wall steel posts using cranes, elevated work platforms and hand tools
- installing noise wall panels
Eastern side of the rail corridor between Thomas Road and Bruns Drive (early-November until mid-December)
Works will involve several key tasks, including tree trimming in select locations within the rail corridor, constructing foundations for the noise wall—which entails boring holes into the ground using a piling rig—and pouring concrete. Additionally, steel posts for the noise wall will be inserted with the help of cranes, elevated work platforms, and hand tools. Finally, noise wall panels will be installed to complete the structure.
