Fremantle Traffic Bridge—Closure
665. Hon Steve Martin to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer to my question without notice asked on 21 August and answered on 9 September, asking for modelling in relation to traffic impacts on the planned Fremantle Traffic Bridge closure, and the minister's answer that appears to refer to questions about regional roads and health.
(1) How many vehicle crossings currently occur on average per weekday on Fremantle Traffic Bridge and Stirling Bridge?
(2) What percentage of road users currently using the Fremantle Traffic Bridge are expected to divert to Stirling Bridge?
Hon Samantha Rowe replied:
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question and provide the following answer on behalf of the Minister for Transport.
(1) There are 23,000 on Fremantle Traffic Bridge and 38,000 on Stirling Bridge.
(2) Main Roads Western Australia and the Fremantle Bridges Alliance are actively working with the community and stakeholders to encourage people to re-examine how and when they travel.
