The Fremantle Traffic Bridge will close Sunday 1 February, 2026 to enable completion of major works, including removal of the existing bridge, installation of the new bridge deck and construction of the new road.

This is a long-term project and is ongoing. You can find out the latest project updates via the Main Roads WA project page linked below.
