Bainbridge Avenue and Buchanan Avenue Alkimos (until February 2024)
Road closures (ongoing)
We are proposing to extend the temporary road closure of Bainbridge Avenue between Buchanan Avenue and Decatur Street, and Buchanan Avenue between Cushing Road and Bainbridge Avenue for a period of four months until late May 2024.
The purpose of the temporary road closure is to enable site access to safely excavate the corridor to rail level, construct retaining walls, and install noise walls. This closure will enable critical finishing works for the Yanchep Rail Extension.
Access across the rail corridor is maintained by the new connections built at Maroon Avenue, Alkimos Drive Bridge and Pardo Street, which are now open to traffic.
A public comment period is now open and plans detailing the area affected by the closure may be inspected at the City of Wanneroo Civic Centre, 23 Dundebar Road, Wanneroo.
Submissions may be lodged in writing to the Chief Executive Officer by:
Email: traffic@wanneroo.wa.gov.au, or
Post: City of Wanneroo, Locked Bag 1, Wanneroo WA 6946
Submissions close on Thursday 14 March 2024 at 5pm.
