Construction of a new longer, higher bridge over the railway at Ranford Road, Canning Vale, is underway and will replace the existing older bridge.
The new bridge will be higher to future-proof the rail corridor, and will have six general traffic lanes, bus lanes and a shared path on each side to facilitate cycling and pedestrian access.
The opportunity to upgrade the Ranford Road Bridge to cater for future traffic volumes and station access was identified in the design phase and will prevent the need to retrofit costly upgrades in coming years.
The first section of the new Ranford Road Bridge opened in November 2021, allowing lanes of traffic to be switched over. The switch means traffic is now flowing on two lanes in each direction and using an upgraded section of Ranford Road, between Livingstone Drive and Bannister Road, Canning Vale.
