The Great Eastern Highway Bypass project will upgrade two major interchanges at Roe Highway and Abernathy Road, extending Lloyd Street and constructing a new bridge over Helena River.

Preliminary works have been completed, however further construction has been placed on hold while Main Roads WA secures the remaining regulatory approvals required to deliver the works. Construction is expected to commence in 2025, subject to outstanding approvals.

A new grade separated interchange will replace one of the last remaining signalised intersections on Roe Highway to provide free flowing access between both roads.

Abernethy Road will be elevated to pass over the Bypass, with connectivity retained via a new grade separated interchange. Completion of the new interchange will allow removal of the signalised intersection of Stirling Crescent and the Bypass.

A new Principal Shared Path (PSP) will also be built along Roe Highway and Great Eastern Highway Bypass, completing the missing link in the 30-kilometre path between Midland and Jandakot.

The Lloyd Street Extension forms part of this project.
