History
editIn 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]
