The 5.6km extension of Mitchell Freeway from Hester Avenue to Romeo Road officially opened to traffic on 10 July 2023, creating a new, high-standard, north-south transport link in Perth's northwest.

New freeway access points are now available at Lukin Drive, Butler Boulevard and Romeo Road, along with a new east-west link with Romeo Road connecting Wanneroo Road to Marmion Avenue.

A Principal Shared Path runs the length of the freeway extension for cyclists and pedestrians, with underpasses at Lukin Drive and Butler Boulevard to provide an uninterrupted journey. 

The extension and new interchanges will significantly improve access and reduce congestion for people living in Perth's northern suburbs, and ease pressure on the Hester Avenue/Mitchell Freeway interchange and surrounding local roads.
