  The Department of Main Roads is replacing the the Ashton Avenue Bridge over the railway in Claremont in early 2018 with a new modern steel and concrete structure. It replaces the old timber bridge which is more than 100 years old. To find out more download the Project Update (October 2017) from the document library.

  From late November, Western Power will be on-site to relocate power services. For safety reasons, some of this work will be completed during night works on 30 November and between 10 and 15 December. Western Power’s work also requires 24-hour bridge closures between 27 November and 1 December followed by possible night closures between 10 and 15 December. Signed detours will be in place during any closures. Some single lane closures on the bridge should also be expected at times.
  
  Once all pre-construction activity is completed, Main Roads’ bridge works will begin in January 2018 with demolition currently scheduled for mid-February. During construction, signed detours will be in place to maintain local traffic flow. There will also be periods of night works to safely complete construction tasks in the rail reserve during scheduled railway shutdowns. The new bridge is expected to open in mid-2018.
