Roma Street's Brisbane Transit Centre  is to be demolished in the next couple months, a project which will clear land for the $5.4 billion Cross River Rail and Brisbane Live entertainment precinct. 

Demolition for the Cross River Rail is expected to be completed by the end of next year, which will result in some short-term lane closures outside of peak hour traffic and temporary busway closures in late 2020.

The Cross River Rail Authority states that the developments are intended to transform Roma Street's precinct, with metal and concrete waste from the demolition projects being almost 100% recycled.
