As part of the Subi Centro project, Script error: No such module "convert". of rail line was replaced by a tunnel and the station was rebuilt underground. Nine companies expressed interest in the construction contract. In July 1996, Multiplex, John Holland, Thiess Contractors, and a joint venture between Transfield Holdings and Barclay Mowlem were invited to tender for the contract,[6] which closed in February 1997.[7] Multiplex was named the preferred tenderer in May 1997[8] and awarded the $34.4Script error: No such module "String".million contract the following month. Construction began immediately; tunnelling was scheduled to begin mid-July 1997.[7]
On 27 February 1998, a Script error: No such module "convert". concrete roof slab for the tunnel, which weighed Script error: No such module "convert"., fell down. No one was hurt as the workers nearby were on a lunch break.[9][10] From the evening of 4 December to the early morning of 9 December 1998, the Fremantle line was closed so that the line could be diverted through the tunnel.[11] The new station opened at the end of that shutdown,[12] but it was officially opened on 12 December 1998 by Premier of Western Australia Richard Court.[13][14]
The station shelter and elevated signal cabin from the old station were restored and relocated to the Bennett Brook Railway in Whiteman Park in 2000, with the signal cabin being used as a control centre for the Bennett Brook Railway.[15][16]
