The New Mandurah Traffic Bridge

The new Mandurah Traffic Bridge has increased traffic capacity and provides the community with an iconic structure and improved amenities in the heart of Mandurah.

Replacement of the old bridge, which opened in 1953, was necessary as it had reached the end of its life and no longer had capacity for current volumes of traffic.

We formed a collaborative partnership with the City of Mandurah, working closely with the community and design and construction contractor Georgiou Group to complete the new Bridge.

The stunning, new curved structure was incrementally launched in 13 segments from a specially constructed concrete casting bay on the western foreshore over Mandurah Estuary to the eastern foreshore.

The new bridge’s four traffic lanes are divided by a concrete median with a separate five metre wide pedestrian and cyclist path located on the north-side of the bridge.

The bridge was open to traffic in December and local schoolchildren, who recently wrote about the significance of the Mandurah Traffic Bridge, were among the first to cross on the new structure’s extra lanes.

Completing the roadworks before the busy Christmas trading period helped to boost and improve access for the community to the shopping and cafe precincts in Mandurah.

Demolition of the old bridge and work to complete paths, feature boardwalks, fishing platforms and landscaping were completed in March 2018.

A community picnic on Mandurah’s eastern foreshore was held in April 2018 to celebrate the official completion of the new bridge. The project has been a great example of collaboration between government agencies and engagement with the community and stakeholders.
