I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) Completion of the Narrows Bridge duplication, the Wellington Street ramps, the Causeway bus modifications and the connection from the transitway to the busport and the configuration of Riverside Drive. (2) Funding of these projects is as follows - (a) Narrows Bridge duplication - $49m from the Transform WA program; (b) Wellington Street ramps - $11m from the Perth Access package; (c) the Causeway bus modifications - $10m from the Transform WA package; (d) connection from the Kwinana transitway to the Perth busport and reconstruction of Riverside Drive to an urban boulevard standard - $5.7m from the Perth access program. (3) Modification of the Riverside Drive ramp connections with the Mitchell Freeway were included in the $5.7m Perth Access allocation. These modifications will be placed on hold pending the completion of other roadworks in the area, particularly the opening of the new ramps connecting Wellington Street to the Mitchell Freeway.
