This crossing also connects to Urbahns Rd, I sometimes head for this from the Parry Ave detour instead of trying to get back onto the much maligned bikepath. You'd turn right at Parry Ave instead of trying left for the bikepath, left on Marsengo Rd, after it doglegs right turn left on Broadhurst Cres then take Urbahns. We're back to the old backroads for a while.

Eyeballing it now on Google Maps - I think I'll give it a go as well. I came out on the Scoulier Way portion last Friday night only to have a stretch Hummer Limo pull up in front of me - in the middle of the road - just before path restarts and a heap of excited pre party goers tumble out all over the place.Baalzamon wrote:I think I'm going to get used to going that way now until the works are finally over.just4tehhalibut wrote:When you get to South St heading south ....

The approaches to the Parry Ave underpass are being smoothed out from wither direction. Like it should have been from the beginning.Baalzamon wrote:Detour wasn't in place today when I went thru. Parry Ave is looking like it's coming along well. Looks quite compacted now,
It still looks likes it will have a similar climb as before, perhaps a half metre lower on the peak. I'm still still not sure what the clearing of vegetation along Breen Place is though.
I think it will have been worth the wait.

Tried this on Friday night just gone. Marginally smoother run to South St. heading south. Though I still was a bit confused about where to pick the PSP around the new Hospital and Murdoch station entrances. Likely to be a dogs breakfast for a while yet there. I ended up catching the Trainstation lift downto the carpark once I'd bviously overshot the intended access path.Baalzamon wrote:I think I'm going to get used to going that way now until the works are finally over.just4tehhalibut wrote:When you get to South St heading south ....

If I wasn't turning off on Farrington to get to the Roe H'way path I'd probably just carry along Murdoch Drive to pick up the path further south along the Freeway.

And yeah, 4 extra stoplights now if you take the detour, 3 at South St. that take ages to turn. Looks like the alternate routes posted earlier are going to be much faster. And heading south, you might as well just head all the way over the Murdoch Dr. and catch the path down at Farrington. Anything to bypass the mess of entrances around the new parking lot.

I looked on the Main Roads website, nothing about this. I know that I can just use Baldivis Rd between Mundijong and Safety Bay Rds (or St Albans Rd with a detour to Macnutts) while this is on but has anyone any further info on this project?

I love telling people that my mum used to let me drive the old Austin A40 down Zig Zag Road when I was in primary school. (We used to collect mushrooms out that way.)just4tehhalibut wrote:... and the exit path onto ZigZag Rd, Baldivis. ...
Most people do not appreciate the joke in that but you will.

That other works down at Baldivis on the PSP should be finished today.

Yeah... I'm digging it now on my commutes. Crossing South St. halfway between the Freeway & Murdoch Ave is so much easier than the lights at the Trainstation/On&OffRamps etc.. Kudos to JBark for plotting it out visually.Phil wrote:... Dave's shortcut was win.

"Kwinana Freeway Widening : Key Dates
Late August 2012: Kwinana Freeway southbound: the three lanes will be opened
November 2012: Noise walls to be completed
September 2012: Principal Shared Path (PSP) under the Parry Avenue Bridge will re-open
October 2012: PSP and access ramp at Bull Creek station (under Leach Highway Bridge) will open
December 2012: Kwinana Freeway northbound: the three lanes are scheduled to open
September 2013: Landscaping, including planting and seeding will be completed
These dates are approximate and will be subject to weather conditions."
Note that MR were so excited that they got the chronology screwed. Perhaps that'll flow on to the practical? I'd expect that we don't get the PSP back in working order until Xmas. The signs at Parry Ave state August but the works viewed from the freeway suggest longer, much.

The first signage around Parry Avenue PSP indicated closure for October and NOvember 2011. I have no idea where that came from.just4tehhalibut wrote:I'd expect that we don't get the PSP back in working order until Xmas.

I'm thinking of just bypassing the whole area via Murdoch Drv between Leach and Farrington...

I gave up with the signs last night. Ended up at some roundabout and a cut through to Leach. Not too bad I suppose. On the way back the signs were all there which was good.wizzfizz wrote:I haven't commuted for a couple months, but on Tuesday there was a Tour de Bateman (deTour de Bateman?) just South of Leach Hwy. So many signs that I actually got lost and ended popping out onto the path on Leach after finding a way out.

I did think about using Karel Ave or Murdoch Drive but I found the alternative route to be rather pleasant. It would be good to see if there will be a decent path left behind after they finish all the works.

please see below the revised dates for the PSP re-openings related to the Kwinana Freeway Widening & Upgrade project.
Parry Avenue - mid-October 2012
Date cannot be confirmed at this point due to drainage design issues.
Delays have also resulted from issues with Noisewall installation, resulting from problems with underground service providers.
South Street (Murdoch Station) - Mid-October/November 2012
Detour in place to allow for the realignment of the freeway off-ramp
Leach Highway - November 2012
This will reopen when the PTA access road opens
*A PSP detour will be setup in the next week between Scandrett Way and South Street while noisewalls are installed in this area.
The detour will be in place for approximately 3 weeks.
Please feel free to distribute this information or upload it to your website.
If you have any questions, please let me know,
Kind regards,
Hannah
