Slip road (until mid-2025)
This road is a crucial route for construction vehicles, including heavy haulage, delivering building materials for the rail corridor. It also services the bus routes during the Armadale/Thornlie Line Shutdown. This slip road will remain active for the duration of the project.
William Street has temporarily reopened to eastbound traffic, via the slip road, following completion of stage 1 works. See map below.

Stage 2 works including the closure of William Street Eastbound will be in place from 8 July until September 2024. The existing intersection closure of Sevenoaks Street, south of William Street, will be extended as a requirement to these works (see map below). The purpose of these closures is to complete the waterpipe relocation works.
