Designs completed for the intersection modifications

The City has progressed with the new design for the upgrade of the intersection of Railway Road and Gugeri Street with Loch Street to improve road safety following a high number of crashes in the area.

This design has been developed with the assistance of the Town of Claremont, businesses and stakeholders within the project area to ensure the design meets the needs of increasing road and pedestrian safety at the intersection and the area more generally. The improvements will include median island widenings, lane realignments, installation of pedestrian traffic lights, lighting, kerbs and drainage, and upgrades to the footpath.

Currently tenders are being called from suitable organisations to undertake the modifications.

This project is being funded through the Australian Government's Blackspot Program to the value of $461,000.
