This project sees the construction of a new bridge over the Kwinana Freeway, including the installation of free-flowing lanes on Armadale Road through to Solomon Road.

A grade-separated roundabout is also being installed at the intersection of Armadale Road and Solomon Road, and Armadale Road and Tapper Road, allowing traffic to crossover at differing heights.

Commuters can also look forward to an upgrade to the Cockburn Central Station eastern car park with 1100 bays, including ACROD and future electronic vehicle parking, motorcycle bays, bike lockers, and a kiss n’ ride drop off zone.

The project has programmed the car park works in stages to reduce inconvenience to commuters and motorists as much as possible and to ensure some car parking remains available to station patrons during construction.

Benefits

Ease traffic congestion at Cockburn Central Station and Cockburn Gateway Shopping Centre
Reduce congestion and provide additional traffic capacity
Improve access to Kwinana Freeway and Cockburn Central Station

Beam installation works

Significant works will occur throughout December 2020 and January 2021 to install beams on the new bridge over Kwinana Freeway, connecting North Lake Road to Armadale Road.

The new bridge will link the suburbs of Cockburn Central to Jandakot and provide alternative access for road users wishing to enter and exit Kwinana Freeway.

Beam installation works will take place in phases throughout late December and January.

The western beam lift, which is scheduled for January, will require full nightly closures of Kwinana Freeway northbound, between Beeliar Drive and Berrigan Drive.

These closures will take place between Sunday 10 January to Thursday 14 January 2021 from 6:30pm to 5am. Signed detours will be in place for northbound vehicle movements.

To allow for the bridge beams to be safely lifted over the train line, a part closure of the Mandurah Line is also required between Perth and Rockingham stations.

These nightly closures will take place between Sunday 10 January to Thursday 14 January 2021.

Train replacement bus services will operate while train services are cancelled. For more details, including the closure times and operation of train replacement services please visit: transperth.wa.gov.au
