I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question. I provide the following
answer on behalf of the Minister for Transport.
(1)–(3) The project team has undertaken a
thorough analysis of the network to determine how best to manage the road
network during the planned temporary closure of the existing Fremantle Traffic
Bridge and the subsequent diversion of traffic onto Stirling Bridge. This
included traffic assessment of several intersections likely to be impacted by
the bridge closure. This modelling has been used to inform practical measures
aimed at minimising disruption during the closure, including network
adjustments and demand management strategies.
