The completion of the concrete structure for an elevated rail line on Perth’s Armadale line has given Western Australian government officials cause for joy.
The work is part of a Victoria Park-Canning Level Crossing Removal project on Perth’s Armadale Line which will ease road congestion, create six hectares of open space and remove level crossings.
Six crossings have already gone from intersections at Mint/Archer Street, Oats Street, Welshpool Road, Hamilton Street, Wharf Street and William Street.
The elevated rail line will comprise four separate viaducts 4km long and five new stations at Carlisle, Oats Street, Queens Park, Cannington and Beckenham while seven kilometres of track has been laid.
WA Premier Roger Cook says METRONET is transforming Perth suburbs.
“Our elevated rail along the Armadale Line is changing the face of the south-eastern suburbs, delivering new public open space and the quality modern facilities local communities deserve,” he says.
Federal Infrastructure and Transport Minister Catherine King said the competition of the work is “another significant milestone” in the project.
Federal MP for Swan Zaneta Mascarenhas predicts the benefits will be felt for generations.
“The removal of these level crossings will improve commute times while the addition of new stations will increase the take up in public transport, removing even more traffic from our roads,” she says.
WA Transport Minister Rita Saffioti says it has been “incredible to see the speed at which this structure has been delivered”.
“The community can see this elevated train line emerging before them while the massive benefits are already being felt with a number of level crossings already removed along the Armadale Line,” he says.
“People who live along the Armadale Line corridor will very soon have access to modern train stations, and new public open spaces and community facilities.
State MP for Cannington Bill Johnston was also excited to see the progress made.:
“With the elevated rail structure now in place, people can see how this project is going to deliver great outcomes in the years ahead with modern stations and new public open space.”
State MP for Victoria Park Hannah Beazley says: “I am thrilled to see the entire elevated structure now in place, but more importantly, I am thrilled to see how much new space has been opened up for the community.
“We’re planning to deliver some incredible facilities in the new public open space, which will create a more vibrant and active community for all to enjoy.”
