Queensland Deputy Premier Jackie Trad has stated she hopes the federal government will allocate some funding for the Cross River Rail in the new budget to be announced tonight.
Cross River Rail is planned to be an over 10 kilometre rail line between Dutton Park and Bowen Hills but has taken a back seat since extra funding was allocated to the Brisbane Metro project.
Federal Minister for Urban Infrastructure Paul Fletcher, says extra funding for the Cross River Rail is unlikely as the project has already been fully funded by the state government.
