Portions of Royal Street will be closed to all vehicles from the end of September for approximately three months to enable vital refurbishment and strengthening work on the Royal Street Bridge.
Cyclists and pedestrians will have access over the bridge throughout the refurbishment.
The works will include the replacement of the existing concrete bridge deck overlay and adjacent road slabs, an upgrade of guardrails and footpath widening.
Routine timber treatment and structural repairs will also be carried out as well as preventative maintenance and fungicide re-treatments.
Impact on motorists
It is proposed to close Royal Street between Kenwick Link and the intersection of Thornlie Avenue and Spring Road to all vehicle traffic for the duration of works. Signed detours for road users will be in place.
Please plan alternative routes and allow the necessary extra time for your journey.
Maps showing alternative routes will be available in advance of the closure.
Pedestrian and cyclist access
Pedestrians and cyclists will be provided with a temporary crossing over the Canning River at Royal Street Bridge.
Local resident access
Residents on either side of the bridge will have access to their properties at all times.
Why the bridge is being completely closed
A stronger bridge structure will be achieved if the work is done at one time rather than in two halves.
Main Roads WA have also advised that work will be completed more quickly and traffic disruption shortened by closing the bridge.
