What's happening

 Southbound on-ramp at Stephenson Avenue now open

A new southbound on-ramp to the Mitchell Freeway from Cedric Street along the alignment of the future Stephenson Avenue opened to motorists on Monday 14 October. This brings us one step closer to improving connectivity for people travelling in Perth’s northern suburbs.

The temporary Cedric Street southbound on-ramp to Mitchell Freeway is also now permanently closed.

With the new ramp now open, key directional changes are as follows:

  • road users travelling on Cedric Street eastbound need to turn right into the new on-ramp to Mitchell Freeway southbound
  • road users travelling on Cedric Street westbound need to turn left into the new on-ramp to Mitchell Freeway southbound.

Access into and out of the Stirling Station northern and southern car parks on Cedric Street continues to be maintained.

There is signage in the area to support these changes. Road users are encouraged to allow additional travel time, follow the signs and exercise caution when merging onto Mitchell Freeway southbound from the new on-ramp.

Stirling Station southern car park disruptions - From 10 October 2024

From 10 October 2024, a section of the southern car park and the motorbike shelter at Stirling Station will be closed to safely commence the upgrade works to the car park.

ACROD parking, Drop Off – Pick Up bays, and short-term parking will remain accessible and be relocated to the eastern section of the car park during works.

Alternative temporary parking will be provided for public transport passengers – refer to map. Please allow for additional travel time to Stirling Station. We apologise for any inconvenience.

Passengers are encouraged to take a break from driving by catching a bus to the station instead. To plan your journey, visit transperth.wa.gov.au

 Progress on the Stephenson Avenue Project

The Stephenson Avenue Extension project is now over 47 per cent complete.

Our latest Project Update highlights some of the milestones that have happened over the past quarter and what some of the things you might see soon.

It includes information on the incremental bridge launch in June, how the team celebrated NAIDOC week and how we are supporting the local community.

Over the upcoming months, there will be changes to the Stirling Station southern car park, vegetation management and the opening of the Stephenson Avenue southbound on-ramp.
