(a) I am advised by Main Roads that it regrets the previously planned project completion date could not be met. Delays have been experienced in negotiating service relocations, combined with design changes to include retaining walls and a crash barrier that where recommended through the public consultation process and availability of work crews.
(b) + (c) Civil construction work in conjunction with signal installation is expected to commence early in the new financial year. This is the earliest the City of Armadale's workforce will be available. The signals will then be commissioned following connection by Western Power.
