(1) Planning for grade separation dates back to mid 1970s - but now requires major revision due to changes in airport configuration and surface access arrangements.
(2) Cost to grade separate this intersection is estimated at around $85m ($2008) - however this will not solve congestion problems in this area due to deficiencies at adjacent intersections (particularly Tonkin / Leach).
(3) Whilst the current program shows an amount of $65m allocated to this interchange over the period 2009/10 to 2013/14, the intention is to incorporate the grade separation of this intersection into a much larger project to improve transport links around the Perth Airport - the subject of a current infrastructure Australia proposal.
