Works in progress

South Western Highway / Halifax Drive - Construction of Slip Lane
The City is currently constructing a slip lane from the South Western Highway on to Halifax Drive (Southern Entrance).
Once completed, the turning lane will ensure smooth traffic flow on the highway and will improve access for trucks and vehicles entering the Halifax Business Park from the South.

Koombana Drive Upgrade Stage 2
The City will be widening Koombana drive to facilitate the construction of a new median and on-road cycle lanes. The works once complete will finalise stage 2 of the works making Koombana Drive an aesthetically pleasing and safe entrance into Bunbury CBD and its attractions. Works have commenced with the removal of street lights completed, to allow for the road widening works to get underway on the Northern carriageway.

Road widenings will be completed on both sides  which will allow traffic to shifted to enable the  centre median and street lights to be installed.

Permanent speed restrictions will be in place during the project until the street lighting is reinstated. Should you have any queries regarding this matter please contact Team Leader, John Pow on 0417953895.
