Key deficiencies The key deficiencies on KFR are expected to include: Perth’s Kwinana Freeway approaching Roe Highway from Armadale Road to the south, and – between Leach Highway and Graham Farmer Freeway. Canning Road between intersection with Brookton Highway and Glenisla Road. – Tonkin Highway between intersection with Great Eastern Highway and Reid Highway, and – between Roe Highway and Albany Highway. Reid Highway between Altone Road and West Swan Road. – Wanneroo Road between Reid Highway and Flynn Drive. – Curtin Avenue between Leighton Beach Boulevard and Manning Street. – Rockingham Road between Mandurah Road and Cockburn Road. – Nicholson Road between Armadale Road and Ranford Road, and between Bengalla – Boulevard and Roe Highway. The Leach Highway and Roe Highway are also forecast to experience heavy congestion, but to a lesser extent. As discussed above, much of this expected congestion is caused by increased commuter demand. The Leach Highway, Roe Highway, Tonkin Highway and Rockingham Road however, will also likely see substantial increases in commercial vehicle demand, which will contribute to the overall levels of congestion. Case Study: Kwinana Freeway The Kwinana Freeway enters Perth from the south, connecting the high growth areas of Rockingham, Kwinana and Cockburn to the Perth city. Approximately 70 kilometres of the Kwinana Freeway, from just north of Mandurah to central Perth is expected to be strained to varying degrees by 2031 (Maps 3 and 4). This is largely a result of massive population growth expected in the Rockingham, Kwinana and Cockburn areas. While most of this pressure on the Kwinana Freeway will result from increased passenger vehicle demand, it will negatively impact freight vehicles travelling on the route. In particular, the section between the Roe Highway and Armadale Road is expected to experience severe congestion limiting accessibility to the Port of Fremantle for commercial vehicles travelling from — the south.
