Traffic congestion along Ranford Road has improved significantly with the new Ranford Bridge officially completed as part of the Thornlie-Cockburn Link project.
The new bridge is 1.2 metres higher, 15 metres longer and significantly wider - including six general traffic lanes, dedicated bus lane, and a shared path to facilitate cycling and pedestrian access.
The upgrades to the Ranford Road Bridge allows for future traffic volumes and station access, preventing the need to retrofit costly upgrades in coming years.
The staged approach to bridge construction meant traffic lanes could be maintained while the old bridge was demolished, and new bridge built.
