What's happening
Construction of Menang Drive and Chester Pass Road Flyover underway following contract award
Substantive construction works on a new flyover at the intersection of Menang Drive and Chester Pass Road are now underway.
This follows the award of a construction contract to Highway Construction in late 2025.
Topsoil stripping is taking place across the site. In the coming months, this will be followed by earthworks for the new flyover on each side of Chester Pass Road. Most of this activity will take place away from the road, with minimal impact to the travelling public. Road users are reminded to drive with care whilst driving through the area.
The project is anticipated to take around 18 months to complete.

Grey Street path extension open
A missing link in Albany’s cycling and pedestrian network has been completed with the Grey Street shared path extension now open.
Funded as part of the Albany Ring Road project and delivered by the City of Albany, the extension significantly improves the cycling route between the Albany CBD and the Torndirrup Peninsula, home to some of Albany’s most spectacular natural attractions and tourist destinations.
The southern sections of the iconic Bibbulmun Track and Munda Biddi Trail are also being realigned to follow the new path, which weaves through bushland and heritage-listed World War 2 fuel storage tanks.
Prior to construction of the Ring Road, cyclists trying to access Frenchman Bay Road needed to cross two busy T-intersections and a rail level crossing. The new path network built as part of the Frenchman Bay Road interchange, together with the new Grey Street extension, allows cyclists to travel the route without any interaction with heavy vehicles.
