What's happening
Bridge works making strong progress
Construction of the Menang Drive and Chester Pass Road Flyover is making strong progress. The team has taken advantage of the drier summer and autumn conditions, undertaking over 50% of the extensive bulk earthworks to form the embankments for the new flyover on each side of Chester Pass Road. Bridge works are also progressing well, with concrete footings in place on both sides of Chester Pass Road.

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.
