Project description

The Fremantle Traffic Bridge and the Stirling Bridge are the only two crossings available for vehicles travelling over the Swan River at Fremantle Harbour. The Fremantle Traffic Bridge is approaching the end of its usable life and is at risk of closure.

Closure of the Fremantle Traffic Bridge would substantially increase demand pressure on the Stirling Bridge, which would worsen travel times, reduce the resilience of the road network and impact heavy freight road access to the port.

This Project will deliver construction of a new bridge and a Principal Shared Path across the Swan River in Fremantle.

Benefits

  • Improve freight productivity and access to freight gateways.
  • Increase transport infrastructure capacity.
  • Improve efficiency and network reliability.

Funding

The Australian Government has committed $215 million towards the $430 million project.

Timetable

The project is in planning and construction activities are expected to commence in mid 2024.
