What's happening
This update contains important information about anticipated upcoming works to occur in November but are subject to change.
Changes in the estuary
Estuary users are reminded that working barges remain in the water, therefore please approach the navigational channel with caution as it is a live construction area.
Please observe the No Wash, No Wake principle, maintaining a speed limit under 8-knots.
All marine traffic, including non-motorised vessels, must use the main navigational channel when traversing the bridge and follow markers and temporary buoys that are in place in the estuary.
Bridge launching process commences
The bridge segment launch schedule starts early November from the casting bed area adjacent to Waterlily Drive.
15 individual bridge segments will be formed on site and then each concrete section is launched (pushed over the estuary) using an incremental process until the bridge reaches the western abutment. Once each segment launch is completed, construction of the next segment begins.
The bridge segments will be launched approximately every two to three weeks.
Dust management for warmer months
The team is actively carrying out dust suppressant activities across the project to reduce the impacts of dust from construction works. Water carts will be used in areas where civil works are continuing, and dust suppressant will be applied to areas that will be undisturbed for a while.
Further information
Jointly funded by the Australian and Western Australian Governments, the $136 million Mandurah Estuary Bridge Duplication project is delivering a second, two-lane bridge on the south side of the existing structure to provide additional traffic lanes.
A new four-metre-wide shared footpath will also be built to help the local community better access recreational activities. An accessible fishing platform will also be provided on the eastern foreshore.
