What's Happening

Wilman Wadandi Highway is Open: Temporary Traffic Management and Road Closures.

The Wilman Wadandi Highway is now open! This is a major milestone for the South West region. There are a range of temporary traffic measures and closures currently in place in some areas and works that will be ongoing in early 2025.

Key Traffic Updates:

  • Wilman Wadandi Highway intersections at Discovery Road and South Western Highway: Intersections under active traffic management.
  • Temporary Road closures:
    • Golding Crescent: for pavement works.

Ongoing works into 2025:

  • Pavement and kerbing works at Harris Road and Martin-Pelusey Roads.
  • Finishing works to roundabouts and intersections, including Discovery Road, South Western Highway (south) and Willinge Drive/Lillydale Road roundabout.
  • Installation of permanent signage.
  • Completion of portions of the shared pedestrian and cycle path along Willinge Drive.
  • Artwork on noise walls near South Western Highway (north) interchange and Harris Road.

During this time, please pay attention to on-road signage, and detour instructions that are in place to help motorists navigate these changes safely. Expect some delays as motorists and the community in general familiarise themselves with the new routes, detours, traffic managed areas and traffic flow may take time to stabilise. 

For residents adjacent to the new alignment, the project team will be providing regular updates regarding any localised impacts in your areas. if you have concerns or need further information, please contact the Main Roads Customer Information Centre at 138 138 or email us at enquiries@mainroads.wa.gov.au.
