Construction of a new longer, higher bridge over the railway at Ranford Road, Canning Vale, is underway as part of the Thornlie-Cockburn Link 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 to traffic in November 2021.
