Future Works
The T Junction at Lord Street is going to be upgraded to a traffic light controlled intersection, with four through lanes and improved turning lanes on Reid Highway.
The RAC has lobbied for continued improvements to Reid Highway, by grade-separating the Malaga Drive intersection and making the highway a dual carriageway for its entire length. The WA State Government initially did not commit to further major upgrades, instead funding an upgrade to the turning lanes at the Malaga Drive intersection. In December 2012, the State Government announced that the Malaga Drive intersection would be grade separated by 2014-15, with work commencing in 2013-14. The project will use the same diamond interchange design that was constructed at Alexander Drive and Mirrabooka Avenue in 2011.
The Mitchell Freeway diamond interchange will be upgraded with extra turning lanes and traffic lights. The project is an interim solution to lower congestion, and reduce the volume of traffic using local roads to avoid the interchange. The longer term plan is to upgrade Reid Highway to a dual carriageway between Duffy Road South and Erindale Road, including a second overpass bridge, which is scheduled for construction in 2014-15. The dual carriageway works will also include upgrading the Duffy Road intersection.

“As the mother of a son, I do not accept that alienation from me is necessary for his discovery of himself. As a woman, I will not cooperate in demeaning womanly things so that he can be proud to be a man. I like to think the women in my son’s future are counting on me.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
“A complete woman is probably not a very admirable creature. She is manipulative, uses other people to get her own way, and works within whatever system she is in.”
