Great Northern Highway-Apple Street intersection upgrade, Upper Swan

Project Description

The Great Northern Highway is a national freight route with high volumes of light and heavy vehicles. The intersection at the Great Northern Highway, Apple Street and Coondaree Parade in Upper Swan is the primary access point for local residents and businesses and is currently close to its maximum utilisation rate.

Currently the intersection is an un-signalised offset four-way intersection that does not have sufficient capacity for the future traffic flows from the surrounding residential and industrial uses. The increase in vehicles at the intersection will constrain freight movements, resulting in time delays, reduced productivity and increased road safety risks.

Benefits

The project will:

• Improve travel times and improve safety for all road users
• Increase transport infrastructure capacity

Funding

The Australian Government has committed $7 million towards the project.

Timetable

The project is in planning.
