Main Roads WA 'Swan River Crossings' Fremantle Traffic Bridge Consultation
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinEmail this link
Main Roads WA 'Swan River Crossings' project involves replacing the deteriorated Fremantle Traffic Bridge with a new solution that considers future needs for road, rail, walking, cycling and boating.
The City of Fremantle encourages all who are impacted by or interested in this project to take part in the Main Roads WA (MRWA) 'Swan River Crossings' consultation opportunities.
MRWA is also holding community drop-in sessions on Monday 17 August, 29 August (heritage and design focus) and 2 September (heritage and design focus). Register to attend at: www.mainroads.wa.gov.au
Background
At the Ordinary Council meeting on 24 June 2020 Council welcomed the Federal and State funding commitment of $230m for the Swan River Crossing project, a project that will see major infrastructure delivered that will have an asset life in excess of 100 years. Council also:
Adopted a set of design principles to assist with the City’s analysis and feedback to Government as the project unfolds and develops. The principles span long-term strategic planning, alignment and connection, design excellence, heritage, aboriginal significance of the river crossing / location, public realm and place.
Requested MRWA commence community engagement as soon as possible, and that this engagement process includes a full and transparent evaluation of design options and bridge alignments that respond to the principles noted above.
Requested MRWA determine a final position on the various aspects of the Swan River Crossing in light of the comments and results that arise during the community engagement process.
