Wanliss Street and Alexandra Street Upgrades to Enhance Safety
Explore Councils by state
The City of Rockingham will be delivering a series of intersection upgrades throughout the Rockingham Foreshore area to improve road safety, with work expected to commence in late June, subject to favourable weather.
Six intersections on Wanliss Street and Alexandra Street will be upgraded, with a combination of raised plateaus and compact roundabouts to be constructed in several locations.
The project is the result of a collaboration between the City and Main Roads Western Australia (through the low cost Urban Road Safety Program), and will improve safety by reducing vehicle speeds and improving visibility for motorists. Community consultation about the upgrades was undertaken in March 2023.
The raised plateaus and compact roundabouts will be built within the existing roadway and there will be no changes to kerb alignments.
Raised plateaus will be installed at the intersections of:
Wanliss Street and Smythe Street Wanliss Street and Jecks Street Alexandra Street and Kent StreetCompact roundabouts will be installed at the intersections of:
Alexandra Street and Lewington Street Alexandra Street and Smythe Street Alexandra Street and Jecks StreetMayor Deb Hamblin said the locations were selected in consultation with Main Roads WA and were based on crash history and spacing between intersections.
“The City’s work with Main Roads WA through the low cost Urban Road Safety Program is focused on reducing the likelihood of fatal and serious injury crashes,” Mayor Hamblin said.
“The project will be funded entirely through the Urban Road Safety Program and we gratefully thank Main Roads for its support.
Traffic management and some detours will be in place throughout construction. The City thanks community members for their patience as we deliver these important road safety upgrades.For more information on the project visit Current Projects and Works.
