The Stephenson Avenue extension will provide a new link between Scarborough Beach Road and Mitchell Freeway, joining the existing Stephenson Avenue from Jon Sanders Drive and Scarborough Beach Road to the State’s freeway network.
The works will provide a new connection from Cedric Street to Scarborough Beach Road, including an interchange at Mitchell Freeway with a southbound Smart Freeway on-ramp, as well as new local road links to Ellen Stirling Boulevard.
Work on phase two is underway and the project is now over 40 per cent complete. The Stephenson Avenue Interchange Bridge and the Stirling Station Bus Interchange Bridge will be incrementally ‘launched’ (pushed out) over the Mitchell Freeway. Over the next six months, a total of 30 segments for both bridges, measuring 660 metres in length, will be launched over live traffic.
Phase one of the project, which was delivered by the City of Stirling and opened in February 2022, included construction of a new road from Scarborough Beach Road to Sarich Court with connections to Ellen Stirling Boulevard at Howe and Oswald Streets.
Main Roads WA will also deliver the Stirling Bus Interchange upgrade on behalf of the Public Transport Authority as part of phase two. The upgrade consists of increasing the capacity from an 18-stand bus station to a modern 30-stand bus interchange along with the construction of a new pedestrian access between Stirling Station and the southern car park.
