Canning Beach Road – Temporary Road Closure

WestCycle has been contacted by Water Corporation with the following information regarding the temporary closure of a small section of Canning Beach Road, near Morreau Mews and the adjoining bike path. To avoid this closure, it’s recommended that riders use Morreau Mews and Kintail Rd. Signage will be in the area to guide riders around the work area.

“We are currently upgrading the wastewater network in Applecross, Ardross and Mount Pleasant to help cater for the growth and development within the City of Melville. Work is progressing well, with over 80% of the pipeline now complete.

The next stage of the work will involve constructing the final section of the underground wastewater pipeline, emergency storage and upgrading the existing pump station along Canning Beach Road. Due to the depth and ground conditions, it is no longer safe for us to keep a lane of Canning Beach Road while doing this part of the work.

This means a short section of Canning Beach Road and adjoining footpaths near Moreau Mews will be closed in both directions while we complete the work. The map below shows the closed area.

The road and footpaths will be closed from Thursday, 23 February, until 21 April 2023.

Please follow onsite traffic management throughout the work to ensure the safety of road users and the community.”

If you have any queries about the above or notice any safety issues while you’re riding, please email us at [email protected] and we will pass on your concerns.
