Route Description
The Kwinana Freeway is the central section of State Route 2. It commences at the northern end of the Narrows Bridge, Perth, continuing south from the Mitchell Freeway, and terminates at the Pinjarra Road interchange at Barragup, where it then transitions to Forrest Highway. All intersections with the freeway are via grade separated interchange ramps. The speed limit is 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) north of Safety Bay Road and 110 kilometres per hour to the south. North of Mill Point Road, the freeway has 5 lanes in both directions - 4 for regular traffic and one for buses. South of Mill Point Road to Leach Highway the freeway generally has three lanes in each direction with the bus lanes merging south of Mill Point Road and then splitting off again near the Canning Bridge interchange. Road works on the freeway should see the six lanes extend south to Roe Highway after which the freeway becomes four lanes. The median strip of the freeway north of Mandogalup also houses the Mandurah railway line, with all the line's stations north of and including Cockburn Central also built on the strip. Additionally, a shared pedestrian and bicycle path is built alongside the entire length of the freeway.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“Whose are the truly labored sentences? From the weak and flimsy periods of the politician and literary man, we are glad to turn even to the description of work, the simple record of the month’s labor in the farmer’s almanac, to restore our tone and spirits.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
