What's Happening
Tonkin Highway closed in both directions between Reid Highway and Hepburn Avenue – 10pm Friday 12 April to 4am Monday 15 April
As part of the METRONET Morley-Ellenbrook Line works we are building a new arch footbridge over Tonkin Highway.
We successfully installed the arch segments and will now install the bridge decking.
From 10pm Friday 12 April to 4am Monday 15 April, Tonkin Highway will be closed between Reid Highway and Hepburn Avenue to safely install the decking. Lane closures will be place from 7pm.
We strongly advise that people plan ahead, stay away from the area if possible, to avoid heavy congestion.
When complete, the new footbridge will provide safe access for pedestrians and cyclists from the residential areas west of Tonkin Highway, to Whiteman Park, and to the METRONET Malaga Station.
