The project includes bridged interchanges at the intersections of Great Eastern Highway Bypass with Roe Highway and Abernethy Road.
It also involves the cul-de-sac of Stirling Crescent to the north and south of Great Eastern Highway bypass and the local access will also be replaced by an extension of Adelaide Street to Abernethy Road.

“This project is receiving $247.25 million of funding from the Morrison Government, part of our $110 billion, ten year infrastructure pipeline.
“We are investing in critical infrastructure in Western Australia to lay the foundations for economic recovery on the other side of COVID-19 and this project forms part of that.”
Subject to environmental and statutory approvals, the early works on the project are likely to begin in the middle of this year with completion expected by mid-2024.
