Main Roads WA have awarded Georgiou Group the Design and Construction contract to upgrade the Roe Highway and Karel Avenue interchange, including widening Karel Avenue bridge.

The works will support the construction of the Thornlie-Cockburn Link by extending the Karel Avenue bridge across the freight railway line located immediately south of Roe Highway.

The Thornlie-Cockburn Link  will support growth and accessibility across the southern suburbs by providing direct access to employment, sporting and recreation opportunities at Canning Vale, Cannington Strategic Metropolitan Centre, Burswood Peninsula and the eastern CBD.

Early works are scheduled to commence in July and constriction is expected to take 18 months with the project estimated for completion in late 2020.
