Wanneroo Road Widening - Joondalup Drive to Flynn Drive
Upgrading Wanneroo Road to a dual carriageway from Joondalup Drive to Flynn Drive will enhance road safety and efficiency and reduce travel times. The project will also cater for long-term traffic demands generated by rapid population growth in Perth’s north-west metropolitan corridor.
The project will convert the existing single-lane road to a dual carriageway over 3.2 km in each direction that provides a north-south alternative to Mitchell Freeway and is critical for efficient industry connectivity to the Wangara and Neerabup industrial parks.

Out-of-hours works
Night works are required in late-August to open Golf Links Drive and close Carramar Road, and then again to reopen Carramar Road. Dates will be advertised on signage at the intersection ahead of works.
To minimise disturbance to residents, a range of measures are being implemented including:
- maintaining machinery to a high standard to reduce noise levels and vibrations
- using low-noise reversing vehicles when possible
- handling materials in a way that reduces the number of vehicle movements
- operating equipment on the lowest effective vibration setting
- providing advance notice to residents of any activities nearby
Due to weather conditions delaying the project’s progress, works will be undertaken between 8am and 4pm on Sundays throughout August and September. The extra day of work will allow the project to avoid further delays and meet the scheduled completion of late 2018. Activities will be similar to standard weekday works including earthworks, delivery of materials and road construction.
