Frequently Asked Questions

Why are the right turns being closed?

The City has received grant funding from MRWA to undertake a blackspot improvement project to prevent further incidents in this area. Closure of the right turn will prohibit potentially dangerous turning manoeuvres, improving safety and traffic flow on Canning Highway.

Why are the works being done at night?

The works are required to be undertaken out of hours due to the high traffic volumes on Canning Highway during the day. Conducting the works at night will prevent severe congestion of the surrounding road network and helps keep roadworkers safe. A site specific Noise Management Plan has been developed for the project in order to minimise the inconvenience caused by the works.

How will the traffic be managed during the road works?

Temporary lane closures and detours will be in place during the road works. For the safety of road users and personnel, please follow signage and take care when driving in the area.
