Project Background The City of Canning (the City) received funding from the State Government as part of its 2021 election commitment to deliver road improvements at the intersection of Nicholson Road and Metcalfe Road in Ferndale.
This project will deliver safer outcomes for the immediate and wider community, and importantly, provide improved and equitable access to all road users who travel on Nicholson Road and Metcalfe Road.
Why This Project Matters The intersection of Nicholson Road and Metcalfe Road has been a critical point of traffic flow, including local and regional access for our community. However, it has also been associated with increased congestion and safety concerns. This project is designed to address these issues by:
Improving Traffic Flow: Efficiently manage and phase vehicle movement from each intersection approach to reduce delays and congestion.
Enhancing Safety: Implementing measures to protect pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers, thereby reducing the likelihood of accidents.
Community Impact: Providing a safer environment for all residents and visitors, contributing to overall community well-being.
What to Expect The Nicholson Road and Metcalfe Road Intersection Project will include:
Installation of new traffic signals
Constructing a new pedestrian crossing across Nicholson Road at the Metcalfe Road intersection (fully protected)
Upgraded shared path connection between Spencer Road and Metcalfe Road
Traffic signal coordination between the Spencer Road and Metcalfe Road signalised intersections
Resurfacing of Metcalfe Road and Nicholson Road to improve pavement conditions
Drainage construction works
Timing The project is scheduled to begin in March 2025 and is expected to be completed by June 2025. Regular updates will be provided throughout the project's duration, to keep the community informed.
To facilitate the delivery and construction of this project, some temporary traffic management measures will be in place, including lane closures and short-term road closures. Specific details regarding any immediate impacts and disruptions will be communicated directly to affected businesses, residents, and property owners through a separate notification letter.
The City welcomes any information or inquiries you may have throughout the roadworks and delivery of this project.
