History

The first portion of the present Kwinana Freeway was completed in 1959, with a speed set at 50 mph (22.4 m/s) when the Narrows Bridge

Narrows Bridge

was opened and a dual carriageway urban road built to Canning Highway. It was upgraded to freeway standard in the 1970s, with the Judd Street bridge being opened in 1976, and the Canning Highway interchange in 1979.

A major southern extension was built between 1979 and 1982 which extended the freeway 7 km (4.3 mi) further south past Leach Highway

Leach Highway

to South Street. This included construction of the Mount Henry Bridge

, which is Western Australia's longest at 660 m (721.8 yd).

The third stage, opened in 1991, extended the freeway another 9 km (5.6 mi) to Forrest Road (Now Armadale Road/Beeliar Drive).

The fourth stage, opened in 1994, brought the freeway closer to Rockingham

A fifth stage was completed in 2002, including:

interchanges at the five intersections previously controlled by traffic lights; and

During the afternoon on 13 May 2005, a water pipe burst near the southbound Mill Point Road freeway onramp in South Perth

. This resulted in widespread flooding in the area, submerging the southbound lanes of the freeway, and collapsed the onramp. This caused traffic gridlock

throughout the city and much of the metropolitan area, lasting well into the night. On average it took people over two hours to travel between the Mill Point Road exit in South Perth to Canning Highway in Como along the parallel Labouchere Road.

In mid-2006, the Bus Transitway was closed permanently in order to allow construction of the Mandurah railway line, completed in 2007. After rail services commenced, most freeway bus services ceased, however dedicated on-ramps, off-ramps and short priority lanes were provided for the remaining services between Canning Highway

Canning Highway

and Perth.

Construction of a 32 km (19.9 mi) extension south to Pinjarra Road and the Murray River at South Yunderup was completed in 2009. South of Pinjarra Road construction was also completed on the Forrest Highway, a 38 km (23.6 mi) dual carriageway rural highway formerly known as the "Peel Deviation". The Forrest Highway takes traffic around the Eastern side of the Peel-Harvey Estuary

Lake Clifton, Western Australia

Lake Clifton is a small town located on the east side of the lake of the same name in the Peel region of Western Australia just off the Old Coast Road, between Mandurah and Bunbury at the north end of the Yalgorup National Park...

. The highway was constructed with the ability to upgrade to freeway standard in the future. The joint freeway and highway construction project was known as the "New Perth Bunbury Highway" during construction until the highway was named.

The freeway and highway will divert traffic around Mandurah cutting traffic in Mandurah and reducing the journey time from Perth to Bunbury, especially during school holidays where families take the time to travel to Western Australia's South-west. The Kwinana Freeway extension and Forrest Highway were opened on 20 September 2009

Future works

Works to widen the freeway between Leach Highway and Roe Highway from two to three lanes in each direction began in early April 2011 and will take approximately 12 months to complete. The $58m project was brought forward to ease increased congestion on this part of the freeway.

At the Manning Road interchange there are plans for a southbound on-ramp, but the project is not currently funded and is made more difficult by two blocks of flats that would require demolition.

Exits and interchanges

The North end of Kwinana Freeway begins in the Narrows traffic interchange with Mitchell Freeway

Mitchell Freeway

. The interchange is at the North end of the Narrows Bridge. A 32 kilometre extension of the freeway, opened in September 2009, has the Kwinana Freeway terminating at Pinjarra Road to the east of Mandurah.
