NEWest Alliance is undertaking significant construction work on Nicholson Road, Thornlie, that will impact Principal Shared Path (PSP) users.
The PSP and the east-bound lanes of Nicholson Road will be will be closed from Bannister Rd to Yale Rd. Riders will be directed into the fast lane, and stopped during crane lifts or when considered unsafe.
WestCycle raised concerns that an earlier proposed path detour that it was much too long, sent riders along roads with fast traffic and wasn’t well lit. NEWest took our feedback on board and came back with this option, which we were pleased to see.
Closure will be in 24/7 from Friday evening to Monday morning only, for about 4 weekends from 28 March to 5 May.
Schedule for construction enthusiasts:
Precast Installation #1: 28 -31 March
Precast Installation #2: 11-14 April
Concrete Pour: 25-28 April
Pour for Rapid Fill: 2-5 May
If you have any concerns about this detour, let us know and we will pass them onto the project team. Or contact Main Roads at enquiries@mainroads.wa.gov.au or 138 138.
