History

In March 1972, the National Capital Development Commission awarded Leighton Contractors a contract to build Woden bus station. [1] It opened on 4 December 1972. [2] [3] On 6 December 1982, an upgrade was completed that doubled its size and included heated waiting rooms. [4] [5] This increased the number of bus platforms from 15 single-bus bays to 17 mostly double-bus bays. [6] In 1994, a further upgrade was completed. [7]

Having been named Woden bus station since it opened, in April 2019 it was renamed Woden Interchange. [8] [9] It is to be replaced by a new interchange with a Canberra Institute of Technology campus to open on the old site in 2025. [10] It closed on 29 January 2023 with a temporary facility opened to the north pending completion of a permanent replacement as part of the Woden light rail station. [11] [12] [13]
