Major construction is underway on the $225 million Reid Highway Interchanges Project which will improve safety and efficiency in Perth's north-eastern suburbs.

Jointly funded by the Australian and Western Australian Governments, the project will deliver two new grade-separated interchanges to replace the existing signalised intersections at Altone Road and Drumpellier Drive/Daviot Road.

The upgrades will improve safety and connectivity for local communities, while enhancing freight efficiency by removing two of the remaining five sets of traffic signals on Reid Highway.

Entry and exit ramps with connecting roundabouts will maintain access to local roads and residential areas.

The project will also improve cyclist and pedestrian access to the Swan Valley with a new uninterrupted Principal Shared Path (PSP) network from West Swan Road to Malaga.

With works taking place within a tight footprint, modifications to Reid Highway and surrounding intersections will be required while construction is underway, with measures to be put in place to keep people moving safely and efficiently.

The project is part of the Albanese and Cook Labor Government's commitments to delivering quality infrastructure and services for Western Australians.

Comments attributed to Midland MLA Steve Catania:

"Removing signalised intersections will mean less interruptions for commuters and freight moving through this fast-growing part of Perth. 

"The upgrades will also make it easier to access the beautiful Swan Valley, providing an uninterrupted path network for cyclists and pedestrians from West Swan to Malaga Drive which is set to deliver great benefits for the local tourism economy."

Comments attributed to Transport Minister Rita Saffioti:

"Reid Highway is one of Perth's most important east-west links, and these new interchanges will make a significant difference for residents, businesses, and freight operators moving through our northern-eastern suburbs.

"The transformation of these intersections will deliver smoother, safer journeys while improving access for cyclists and pedestrians in the area.

"This $225 million joint investment is part of the Cook Government's commitment to strengthening connectivity across Perth's north and ensuring our transport network keeps pace with this fast-growing region"
