Causeway Pedestrian and Cyclist Bridges Project Path Detours at Point Fraser

In preparation for constructing the Causeway Pedestrian and Cyclist Bridges Project, works are being undertaken at Point Fraser to relocate a key water pipeline which is over 100 years old. These works commenced in May and are expected to be completed by October 2023.

Path detours – Stage 1 and Stage 2

Path detours will be in place during these works to safely direct path users around the work area. The detours will be established in stages over approximately six weeks in order to enable works at different locations. Please always proceed with caution and adhere to signage throughout the area. We thank you for your patience and apologise in advance for any inconvenience.

Access to On the Point businesses, About Bike Hire, the CPP car park and the underpass to East Perth will be maintained.

Stage 1: A portion of the shared path along Riverside Drive will be closed, with path users detoured around the work site and along the foreshore. This will allow for direct site access and site set up.

Approximate duration: Two weeks, starting Thursday 13 July 2023.

Stage 2: A portion of the shared path along the foreshore will be closed, and path users will be detoured around the work site and to the path along Riverside Drive. This will allow for water pipe works.

Approximate duration: Two days in late July 2023.

Further path detours will occur as the project progresses. More information will be provided in advance of these changes.

Vegetation impacts

A small amount of vegetation has been removed to enable access for machinery to conduct these works. As the project progresses, further removal of vegetation will be necessary to facilitate the construction of the bridge abutment on Point Fraser. Vegetation removed will be replaced or repurposed within the project site where possible.
