The contract for the Reid Highway Interchanges project has been awarded; The
project, which is jointly funded by the Commonwealth ($125 million) and State ($125
million) Governments, will be a game-changer for safety and traffic flow around
Caversham.
This initiative backs in a strong record of infrastructure investment by the Cook Labor
Government in the area and will help support the growing population in Midland as a
vital east-west corridor transport link.
Pedestrian and cyclist access through Caversham will be enhanced through the
creation of a continuous shared path via a new Principal Shared Path (PSP) bridge
and a dedicated underpass for non-motorised users at the Daviot Road interchange.
Construction is scheduled to begin in late 2025, with detailed planning and
community consultation to commence soon.
Comments attributable to Midland MLA Steve Catania:
“Our Government is an ardent supporter of infrastructure investment, and the
upgrades to Reid Highway around Caversham reinforce this record even further. The
delivery of these interchanges will not only significantly improve safety and efficiency
for commuters, but will also provide better access for non-motorised users in and
around Caversham.
“I look forward to realising this project’s benefits to our community in the near
future.
