What's happening
Read the June Construction Update.
Mandurah Road modified conditions
Modified conditions will be ongoing throughout the coming months on both approaches to Mandurah Estuary Bridge. Currently a temporary lane alignment is now in effect with eastbound traffic remaining in one lane from Old Coast Road until near the Leslie Street intersection, with the lane moved closer to the road shoulder. Westbound traffic maintains two lanes, moving across the median strip after the Leslie Street intersection to the typical eastbound lanes. Updates will be provided through roadside messaging boards, the Main Roads Travel Map and the Project Community Facebook page. Motorists are advised to observe traffic management in place and drive safely through the works.
Ongoing clearing and works for amenity walls
Clearing and other works for the southeast (Waterlily Drive) and northwest (Leisure Way) will occur mid-to-late 2025.

Existing fishing platform closure
Main Roads has advised City of Mandurah to close the existing fishing platform for safety reasons, unrelated to the Mandurah Estuary Bridge Duplication Project works. Please visit City of Mandurah’s Facebook post for more information.

Marine Works
Estuary Construction Area - 150m either side of the existing bridge
Ongoing
- A reduced 5-knot speed limit is in place
- Please follow the ‘no wake, no wash’ principle
- The navigational channel passing underneath the bridge, between piers four and five, has been reduced to a 30m width
- Estuary users are reminded that works continue in the water, therefore please approach the navigational channel with caution as it is a live construction area
- All marine traffic, including non-motorised vessels, must use the main navigational channel when traversing the bridge and follow markers and temporary buoys that are in place in the estuary
