Armadale Road to North Lake Road Bridge

A new bridge over Kwinana Freeway will ease congestion and improve access. Construction began in late 2019 with completion expected in late 2021.

Construction site for Armadale Road North Lake Bridge project

We will address congestion at the Kwinana Freeway, Armadale Road and Beeliar Drive interchange, Perth’s fifth most congested intersection by segregating heavy regional traffic from local traffic. In doing so, it will effectively create a bypass around Cockburn Central Train Station and Cockburn Gateway shopping centre.

A direct link will be provided between Armadale and North Lake roads, improving access to Kwinana Freeway and support residential and commercial expansion in Cockburn and Armadale.

Other works will include:

Construction of a new bridge over Kwinana Freeway, connecting Armadale Road and North Lake Road
Armadale Road upgraded from Tapper Road to Kwinana Freeway, passing over the intersection of Tapper Road with a new bridge, and under the intersection of Solomon Road via a trench structure
New north-facing on and off ramps at Kwinana Freeway.
Local roads reconfigured with two new roundabouts to maintain connectivity
Collector-distributor roads on both sides of the Kwinana Freeway from Berrigan Drive to Armadale Road
Modifications to the existing North Lake Road and Midgegooroo Avenue signalised intersection
Additional lanes and turning capacity added to the intersection of Armadale Road and Ghostgum Avenue to support ongoing residential growth in the suburbs of Calleya and Treeby

What's Happening

Works are progressing well

Works are progressing well on the project with traffic on Armadale Road recently moved onto a temporary alignment to enable the safe and efficient construction of two new intersections. For more information about our activities across this site, as well as the Aboriginal public artwork, please see our September Construction Update.

Knock Place closure and Cockburn Central train station car park upgrade

A long-term closure of Knock Place and Hutt Link is now in place in order to progress construction of the new intersection at Armadale Road and Solomon Road, and to reconfigure the existing Cockburn Central Station eastern car park.

We planned the works in four stages to complement the Armadale Road works and the City of Cockburn’s Verde Drive extension works, while ensuring some car parking remains available to station patrons throughout construction. View our latest Fact Sheet for more information.

Temporary roundabout at Armadale Road, Tapper Road and Verde Drive

From Monday 31 August, the existing signalised intersection at Armadale Road, Tapper Road and Verde Drive will be replaced with a temporary roundabout, located slightly to the north of the current road alignment. This roundabout will allow work to start on the new bridge and permanent roundabout in this location. The temporary roundabout will remain in place until late 2021. For more information on these works, please view our latest Fact Sheet.

Access changes at Armadale Road and Ghostgum Avenue

Construction works will soon commence to upgrade the intersection of Ghostgum Avenue and Armadale Road. To allow for lane widening and Principal Shared Path (PSP) installation in this location, a long-term traffic modification is required, which includes removal of the existing traffic lights. As a result, the intersection will be converted to left turn access only, from 3 September to mid-2021. Please view our Fact Sheet to find out more about these changes and the relevant detour information.

Closure of North Lake Road from Kentucky Court to Kwinana Freeway

The next stage of works to upgrade the intersection of North Lake Road and Midgegooroo Avenue will begin Tuesday 25 August, with traffic lights to be removed at the intersection. This will require the closure of a short section of North Lake Road, from Kentucky Court to Kwinana Freeway, until February 2021. All current business and residential access will be maintained throughout this closure, with an emergency access route accessible from North Lake Road for Police Services. For more information on this important intersection upgrade, please view our Fact Sheet.
