Scope
The intersection was a well-known pressure point that was heavily congested during peak periods.
By raising Wanneroo Road over Ocean Reef Road, we have allowed traffic to flow freely, improving safety and providing safer access to nearby suburbs.
Upgrades also included:- Signalised loop ramps to connect Wanneroo Road and Ocean Reef Road.
- New paths and pedestrian crossing points.
- New access road for Cockman House off Woodvale Drive.
- New U-turn facility on Wanneroo Road (north of Villanova Street) to assist southbound traffic movements.
- Drainage improvements.
