BAKERS HILL ROADWORKS
Works on Great Eastern Highway, between Jordi Road and Tames Road through Bakers Hill in the Shire of Northam will commence on 21 May.
The work will improve safety for both pedestrians and road users by reducing the number of access points to the Great Eastern Highway and will improve traffic flow. Works will include installing new kerbing and footpaths and widening the intersection at Berry Brow Road.
During works, the Keane Street exit to Great Eastern Highway will be closed.
Traffic management will be in place with intermittent lane closures and speed reductions through the area.
