Orrong Road Interchange
In November 2005, the state government announced plans for the construction of a diamond interchange at the intersection of Leach Highway and Orrong Road in Welshpool. Orrong Road, which is a continuation of Graham Farmer Freeway has experienced increased in traffic by approximately 40% since the freeway was completed in 2000. The new bridge will bring Leach Highway over Orrong Road. The intersection was formerly Perth's worst blackspot. Approximately 70,000 vehicles, including substantial numbers of trucks, use the intersection daily. Funding for the project was made available through the sale of land reserved for the Fremantle Eastern Bypass. The interchange has since been completed and traffic flow has improved vastly.
