PLEASE NOTE THIS INFORMATION IS PROVIDED BY MAINROADS WA

Initial works

Before construction on the intersection begins, works will be undertaken to locate underground services, install fencing and barriers and set up traffic diversions. Single lane closures will be in place to allow for this work to be undertaken.  These works will take approximately three weeks of day, night and weekend work.

Stage 1 construction works 

During the first stage of construction, works will be undertaken on the north side of Joondalup Drive and on Cheriton Drive in the area indicated on the map below. This area of construction will start at Houghton Drive through to approximately 100m east of The Duke.

These works will include:

• Clearing and vegetation removal
• New drainage and underground services installation
• Earthworks, including pavement construction and resurfacing
• Kerbing, footpaths and landscaping
• Lighting, signs and line marking

What to expect

• Two lanes will remain open heading west along Joondalup Drive
• Joondalup Drive eastbound will be reduced to one lane.
• The speed limit through the area will be reduced to 40km/h.
• Traffic heading west along Joondalup Drive will be able to turn right into Cheriton Drive.
• Traffic heading east along Joondalup Drive will be able to turn left into Rawlinna Close, but NOT Cheriton Drive.
• Traffic will not be able to exit Cheriton Drive onto Joondalup Drive. Vehicles will be able to egress via Houghton Drive or Keanefield Drive. (See map above)
• Pedestrians and cyclists will still have access through the intersection via detoured paths. (See map below)
• The bus stop in the front of Carramar Shopping Centre will be temporarily closed.
