Forrest Highway (H057) & Preston Beach Road Northbound Acceleration Lane
Phase:Clearing proposal closed for submission
Main Roads Western Australia proposes to address traffic congestion and safety concerns at the intersection of Forrest Highway (H057) and Preston Beach Road (2090031) through the construction of a 670 m long northbound acceleration lane. The acceleration lane will enhance the efficiency of traffic flow from the townsite of Preston Beach, particularly during heavy northbound traffic periods on Forrest Highway.
The Proposal will also help to mitigate the risk of rear end collisions at the intersection, where drivers may pull onto the highway when it is unsafe to do so. The works require the removal of up to 0.2 ha of native vegetation directly adjacent to the existing roads of Forrest Highway and Preston Beach Road Road.
