GAZETTE, Saturday, April 19, 2014
Work on the realigned Reid Highway-Lord Street T-intersection.
WORK is nearing completion on one
of the region’s most dangerous intersections, Reid Highway and Lord
Street.
Main Roads WA said this week
the project should be finished by the
middle of June.
Reid Highway carries more than
25,000 vehicles per day through the
Lord Street intersection and more
than 11 per cent of those are heavy
trucks.
Vehicles turning right from Lord
Street onto the highway are often
confronted with a heavy traffic in
both directions, leading to some drivers having to run the gauntlet by
crossing traffic when it is unsafe.
In the five years to 2012, there
were 169 crashes at the intersection.
A realignment of the two major,
arterial roads and heavy earthworks
has been taking place over the past
three months. A new T-intersection,
about 50m west of the current intersection, will feature traffic lights
and two right turning lanes from
westbound Reid Highway into Lord
Street. There will also be two right
turning lanes from Lord Street
south on to Reid Highway.
A Main Roads spokesperson said
the safety and efficiency at the busy
junction would be “significantly improved” by the work.
“Combined with the City of
Swan’s plans to complete the dual
carriageways on Gnangara Road,
the intersection upgrade will significantly improve the performance of
the local road network in this rapidly growing area and address safety
issues associated with increasing
traffic,” the spokesperson said.
Meanwhile, bureaucratic red
tape has forced the City of Swan to
push back its start date for the Gnangara
Road
upgrade
between
Drumpellier Drive and Beechboro
Road North.
City chief executive Mike Foley
said there had been “significant delays” in the project due to a lengthy
State forest excision process, to
allow Gnangara Road to be widened.
He said construction works were
now not scheduled to begin until
early next year.
It is understood the acquisition of
the State forest land needs to be
signed off by the Department of
Parks and Wildlife and Premier
Colin Barnett before it can be referred to State Parliament for approval.
However, Mr Foley said the project remained on track and had been
fully funded.
The City intends to press ahead
with its installation of temporary
traffic lights at the intersection of
Beechboro Road North and Gnangara Road, once work on the Lord
Street-Reid Highway project has
been completed. That intersection
topped the list of ‘Risky Roads’ in an
RAC survey of Perth’s worst intersections in 2011 and was placed
fourth in 2012.
There were more than 370 crashes on the heavily traversed Gnangara Road between 2007 and 2011 and
the number of vehicles travelling
east and westbound on the road has
increased significantly in each of
the two years since.
