The Cross River Rail project in Brisbane, Australia has had construction work pushed back a further two years due to heavy flooding in Queensland.

In January the Queensland Government announced flood reconstruction assessments for the Queensland area would not affect the detailed feasibility phase, which was ongoing as T&TI went to press.

The final business case and environmental impact statement have not begun. When the detailed feasibility phase has been completed, the government will decide how and when to proceed with the project.

Cross River Rail said this will not affect property impact or acquisition applications.
