Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 237 asked in the Legislative Council on 23 March 2022 by Hon James Hayward

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

FORREST HIGHWAY — ACCELERATION LANES

237. Hon JAMES HAYWARD to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Transport:

I refer to the construction of acceleration lanes for access to Forrest Highway at the Binningup, Myalup, Harvey and Preston Beach turnoffs.

(1) What is the estimated start date for construction of the acceleration lanes at turnoffs at Binningup, Myalup, Harvey and Preston Beach?

(2) What is the estimated completion date for the acceleration lanes at those locations?

(3) Has the government considered the adoption of smart freeway technology to better manage traffic on the Forrest Highway at peak times such as long weekends?

(4) Has the government considered the possibility of underpasses being built at key intersections on the Forrest Highway?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

(1)–(4) Main Roads is currently progressing development work for acceleration lanes at these locations, a key election commitment of the member for Murray–Wellington. It is noted that no other candidate committed to this project at the 2021 state election.
