Kwinana Freeway Pedestrian and Cyclist Path

Contract has been awarded to local company Georgiou. 

Work will start in mid-February. Early activities will focus on construction of the Cranford Avenue underpass, requiring speed reductions on Cranford Avenue and occasional weekend closures.

Minor path detours will also be required.

General work hours will be 7am to 7pm, Monday to Friday. However, occasional weekend work will be required. Some noise should be expected, especially during pile-driving works.

• Eliminate conflict between traffic and path users
• Cater for cyclists and pedestrians of all ages and abilities
• Create local path connections
• Improve safety

Minor clearing will be required to facilitate path and amenity wall construction between Leach Highway and Cranford Avenue.

To the north of Cranford Avenue, approximately 1.7 ha of degraded vegetation will be removed to allow the existing path network to be upgraded to current standards. This includes the removal of woody weed species to facilitate future planting of native vegetation.

Once construction is complete, funding will be provided to the City of Melville to undertake a local re-planting program. Suitable cleared vegetation will also be mulched and re-used on site.
