$110M EOI OPEN FOR MANDURAH ESTUARY BRIDGE DUPLICATION
Mandurah Bridge
The WA Government has called for Expressions of Interest for the design and construction of the Mandurah Estuary Bridge Duplication to reduce congestion and improve road user safety.
Works will include:
- Construction of a second bridge alongside the existing bridge
- Adding traffic lanes
- Providing support for the current structure.
- Construction of a new shared path to improve connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists on the southern underside of the new bridge deck
- A universally accessible recreational fishing platform will also make fishing more accessible to people of all ages and abilities.
The duplication would significantly improve congestion across the bridge, which can be frustrating for commuters with 33,000 vehicles a day passing over it.
The project will provide over 500 jobs during construction.
