In partnership with Main Roads Western Australia, we’re helping to make walking, wheeling and riding journeys safer, smoother and more comfortable.
Each year, the Department of Transport and Major Infrastructure (DTMI) allocates $1 million towards rehabilitation works along the Principal Shared Path (PSP) network.
This network often follows freeway and rail corridors and provides safer off-road travel, with more direct active travel trips and minimal interruption from other traffic.
Recently completed was the widening and resurfacing of around 6.5 km of the Kwinana Freeway PSP, between Karnup Road and Zig Zag Road in Baldivis.
Two sections of the PSP were also fully reconstructed, between Paparone Road and Glenbrook Way and Furioso Green and Karnup Road.
DTMI Director Active Transport Michelle Prior says these types of upgrades are crucial to encouraging more people to choose active ways to get around.
“Maintaining and upgrading the paths along our freeways and rail lines plays such an important role in creating vibrant, liveable and connected communities.
“These high-quality primary shared paths offer all people, no matter their age, gender or skill level, an efficient, safer and more enjoyable walking, wheeling or riding experience, and can give them confidence to use the network more often.”
