A A$1.6billion Perth Freight Link to connect Fremantle Port with Kewdale and beyond has been jointly funded by the federal and Western Australian governments.
The Australian government has committed A$925million to the Perth Freight Link, which is expected to remove 65,000 vehicles from the local road network daily.
WA Transport minster Dean Nalder said the project would include a five km four-lane dual carriageway extension of the Roe Highway, from its existing terminus at the Kwinana Freeway to Stock Road in Coolbellup plus improvements to Stock Road and High Street.
“Some works on the Perth Freight Link project will start mid year, with tenders for the main works on the Roe Highway extension and Stock Road improvements scheduled for mid-2015,” said Nalder.
“It is expected the Perth Freight Link will be open to traffic by the end of the decade. When combined with the current A$1billion Gateway project, this road infrastructure will provide great efficiencies for industry, and ultimately boost the WA economy.”
