First of what I imagine will be several, potentially even many track closures this year.
Rail corridor work is planned between Beerburrum station and north of Beerwah station during a scheduled temporary closure of the North Coast Line on 31 January and 1 February 2026.
These works are to facilitate the Beerburrum to Nambour (B2N) Rail Upgrade (Stage 1) project which will increase the capacity and reliability of the North Coast Line, enabling more efficient travel and improved passenger and freight connections between the Sunshine Coast, Moreton Bay, Brisbane and beyond.
Service relocations:
Relocation of services including Energex overhead line equipment near Barrs and Evans roads, Glass House Mountains and Caves Lane, Beerburrum between 6am and 6pm on both days, noting the Barrs Road level crossing will be closed between 6pm on Saturday and 5am on Sunday.Fencing:
Relocation of existing rail corridor fence adjacent to Sportsground Drive and Beerwah Parade, Beerwah continuously between 6am on Saturday and 6pm on Sunday.Vegetation clearing:
Clearing adjacent to existing rail corridor near Beerburrum Road/Old North Coast Road, north and south of Barrs Road level crossing, and south of Beerwah station towards Pikes Road between 6am and 6pm on both days – see maps below for clearing work areas.Earthworks:
Rock-cutting activities within the rail corridor south of Barrs Road all hours on both days.Drainage works:
Construct temporary access tracks adjacent to existing rail corridor north and south of Barrs Road level crossing and south of Beerwah station to facilitate drainage works between 6am and 6pm on both days.
In addition to the above, we got the first of what seems will be a monthly update leaflet in the mail for the northern and southern work zones outlining the works underway.
