Woden Interchange was located in Woden Town Centre, Canberra, Australia, adjacent to Westfield Woden. It was served by ACTION and CDC Canberra services.
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] In 1994, a further upgrade was completed.[6]
Having been named Woden bus station since it opened, in April 2019 it was renamed Woden Interchange.[7][8] It is to be replaced by a new interchange with a Canberra Institute of Technology campus to open on the old site in 2025.[9] 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.[10][11] [12]
Woden Interchange was served by ACTION and CDC Canberra services.[13][14][15]
