Reid Highway Dual Carriageway: Altone Road to West Swan Road MAIN ROADS WESTERN AUSTRALIA PROJECT UPDATE JUNE 2018 Reid Highway Dual Carriageway: Altone Road to West Swan Road Main Roads has finalised concept plans to upgrade Reid Highway between Altone Road and West Swan Road to a dual carriageway. This $70 million project is funded by the Australian and State governments as part of a $2.3 billion investment in road and rail infrastructure. Construction of this four kilometre section should be finished by early 2020, completing the final section of dual carriageway on Reid Highway between Marmion Avenue and Great Northern Highway.

    Federal priorities for Western Australia April 2013 Keeping Western Australians on the move. Federal priorities for Western Australia Western Australia’s rapid population growth coupled with its strongly performing economy is creating significant challenges and pressures for the State and its people. Nowhere is this more obvious than on the State’s road and public transport networks. Kununurra In March 2013 the RAC released its modelling of projected growth in motor vehicle registrations which revealed that an additional one million motorised vehicles could be on Western Australia’s roads by the end of this decade. This growth, combined with significant developments in Derby and around the Perth CBD, is placing increasing strain on an already Great Northern Hwy Broome Fitzroy Crossing over-stretched transport network.

  • Reid Highway Dual Carriageway Construction Update
    APRIL 2020 Reid Highway Dual Carriageway Altone Road to West Swan Road Construction update The Reid Highway Dual Carriageway has entered the final stages of construction with the new Bennett Brook and Arthur Street bridge surfaces nearly ready for asphalt to be laid. In February and March, crews worked overnight to install bridge beams. The Arthur Street bridge deck has been poured and is now having kerbing and barriers installed. The deck of the Bennett Brook Bridge will be poured at the end of this month. The Arthur Street bridge will have concrete screens installed on top of the bridge structure to ensure drivers and pedestrians can’t see into neighbouring houses or back yards. The screens will be painted various shades of grey to provide a neutral colour background in the surrounding residential landscape. Lifting the bridge beams into place at Bennett Brook Pouring concrete for the deck of the Arthur Street bridge Safe and attractive travel options for pedestrian and cyclists Reid Highway is part of a popular travel route for cyclists visiting the Swan Valley. The Swan Valley is cycle friendly with many local businesses set up to make cycling easy. A new four metre-wide Principal Shared Path (PSP), to be constructed as part of the Reid Highway Dual Carriageway project, will provide cyclists with a smooth and safe ride during which they will be totally separated from road traffic. The new PSP runs along the southern side of Reid Highway between Altone Road and West Swan Road. The path links in with the recently completed NorthLink WA shared path and ties into the existing Swan Valley Heritage Cycle Trail which runs along West Swan Road.

  • P1368b-1370A Mr Paul Miles; Mr Dean Nalder GNANGARA ROAD
    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Thursday, 17 March 2016] p1368b-1370a Mr Paul Miles; Mr Dean Nalder GNANGARA ROAD — REALIGNMENT Grievance MR P.T. MILES (Wanneroo — Parliamentary Secretary) [9.50 am]: My grievance is to the Minister for Transport, Hon Dean Nalder, and refers to a very similar matter raised earlier by the member for Girrawheen. It is important that we put across what has happened in this particular area. As most people in the northern suburbs know, for some time Gnangara Road has been a major distributor road to the industrial estate. In 2014, when residents were becoming alarmed at some of the traffic build-up there, we, in conjunction with the City of Wanneroo, were able to have the road reclassified. The road now is once again a local road and it comes under the jurisdiction, in that sense, of the City of Wanneroo. The big concern for the little enclave in the northern part of the suburb of Madeley—which is in the southern part of my electorate and bounds the electorates of both the member for Girrawheen and the member for Kingsley—is the realignment of Gnangara Road, which has to happen. It is one of those issues that the local authority has left on the backburner, not by choice but because it is a road that has just worked and people have just gone about their business. However, it is very clear that as more homes have been built in that area, the little enclave has tripled in size, especially with the private estate and private roads that are being built alongside.

  • Project Profile Great Northern Highway/North West Coastal Highway Intersection Upgrade, Port Hedland, WA
    HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION Project Profile Great Northern Highway/North West Coastal Highway Intersection Upgrade, Port Hedland, WA Re-prioritisation of a key intersection enables free-flowing CONTRACT movement for trucks on a major freight route 41/15 - AS2124 construct only (roadworks) PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Great Northern Highway (GNH) and North West Coastal Highway (NWCH) CLIENT are the two main north-south routes between Perth and the north of Western Main Roads WA Australia. PRE-QUALIFICATION The GNH typically carries high volumes of heavy vehicle traffic between Newman R3 and Port Hedland; and the NWCH coastal route carries tourist traffic and lighter freight vehicles between Karratha and Port Hedland. TIMEFRAME Port Hedland has also taken its place as the busiest port (by tonnage) in the Jun 2016 - Nov 2016 World, as the iron ore juniors are without access to a mine-to-port rail link and use the road network as their primary transportation route. LOCATION As a result, the time taken for heavy vehicle road traffic to travel between the port Port Hedland, WA can have significant cost considerations for the iron ore juniors and the wider WA freight industry, with seemingly minor delays at intersections adding up to millions of dollars per year. PROJECT VALUE $3.6 million The configuration where the GNH intersected with the NWCH was originally a simple t-junction. This meant heavy vehicle traffic travelling north was required to stop before making a right turn from the GNH onto the NWCH to proceed northwards to Port Hedland. Works to upgrade this intersection were therefore commissioned to eliminate the old t-junction to allow heavy vehicle traffic a free-flow of movement between Newman and Port Hedland.
