Causeway Pedestrian and Cyclist Bridges – Project Update

As construction continues for the Causeway Pedestrian and Cyclist Bridges Project, Main Roads have advised there will be new path detours at Point Fraser and McCallum Park as well as marine works in the northern navigation channel (Perth side of Heirisson Island). Main Roads advise motorists, cyclists, pedestrians and river users accessing these areas to take extra care and follow signage. 

Path detour at Point Fraser

A new path detour will be implemented along the north side of Riverside Drive in January 2024. Access to this part of Riverside Drive is restricted to site vehicles only. Temporary traffic management and controls will be in place, with path users given priority to cross the road.

Path detours at Point Fraser, as of mid-January 2024

Landscaping to commence at McCallum Park

To allow for landscaping works to commence, the Project’s McCallum Park site boundary will extend to the east towards the existing Causeway Bridge and a new detour path will be constructed. This new site boundary and detour path will be in place from approximately late January 2024 until project completion.
