Residents in Byford and the wider Serpentine-Jarrahdale area will connect to the Perth CBD on a seamless 42-minute train journey once the Byford Rail Extension is complete.
The Armadale Line is being extended approximately 8km south to a new ground-level station in Byford, supporting one of the fastest growing areas in Australia.
Armadale Station is being rebuilt as an elevated station with three nearby busy level crossings removed and replaced with elevated rail.
Other level crossings between Armadale and Byford are also being removed with alternative treatments to improve traffic flow and ease road congestion.
The project will kick-start development opportunities in the Armadale and Byford town centres, providing new and safe connections around the stations.
The Armadale/Thornlie Line is shut between Victoria Park and Armadale/Thornlie stations until mid-2025 to enable these works.
During the Armadale Line Shutdown, the Public Transport Authority will also be undertaking major maintenance works between Kenwick and Sherwood stations as part of Rail Revitalisation Program.
