Construction continues on the Mandurah Estuary Bridge; a vital upgrade to better connect Mandurah and the Peel region.

More than 33,000 vehicles use the existing bridge per day. The bridge duplication will help meet the increased demand created by population growth across Perth, Mandurah, Peel and the South West. Provision for a future third lane in each direction has been included in the project scope.

A four-metre-wide shared path will be constructed under the bridge, better connecting those walking, riding or wheeling. A new accessible fishing platform is also being constructed to enable people of all abilities to enjoy the area.
