Project update
The City thanks residents and road users for their patience while work has been delayed. These delays have been due to ongoing issues with the design and construction of the intersection of Ranford Road and Nicholson Road.
As this is a major intersection and there are a large number of services buried underground. Additional work has needed to be completed by both the City and Main Roads to come to a suitable outcome.
Work is expected to begin on the intersection upgrade in the coming months. This work will be completed as night works to minimise the traffic disturbance.
Although it may look like work is completed on this project, the new bus lanes are unable to be opened until the intersection works have been completed.
More information will be made available on this page.
Background
The City of Gosnells is constructing a new bus priority lane between Nicholson Road and Campbell Road.
This project will see the installation of two new lanes that will be in operation during peak periods only (6.30am to 9am and 4pm to 6.30pm).
The project scope includes:
- Two new peak-period (priority) lanes
- Upgraded Ranford Road / Nicholson Road intersection
- Continuation of the bus lanes within the City of Canning
- Safer turning pockets
- New footpath and principle shared path
- New landscaping post construction
The bus priority lanes will reduce congestion for all road users and significantly improve public transport in the area. The new lanes will support commuters wishing to access the new Ranford Road and Nicholson Road train stations. These new stations are being constructed as part of the Thornlie to Cockburn Link.
The bus priority lanes will operate in the peak direction (ie. towards Nicholson Road in the morning and away from Nicholson Road in the afternoon). This follows the success of the bus priority lanes further along Ranford Road, and along South Street.
