Leach Highway/Orrong Road Interchange

This project was constructed to elevate traffic issues and safety concerns with the existing level crossing at the Leach Hwy/Orrong Road interchange. Fremantle Constructions was awarded works from John Holland on a contract basis to carry out all concrete, formwork and steel fixing as well as installing T-roff beams and MSC walls. We also installed approximately 1km of post and panel noise walls. The Highway was constructed to freeway standard from Safety Bay Road to South Yunderup, a distance of some 32 km. The remainder of the route (38 km) will be built as a rural highway, with the ability to upgrade it in the future as traffic demands increase. The project doubles the length of the existing freeway network and provides a high standard inter-regional road link that will improve transport connectivity and road safety. Fremantle constructions was engaged by the SGA to build: 2 x 220m bridges sub and superstructure. 2 x substructure of 220m bridge through a river 3 x 70m dual carriageway two span bridge 42 x drainage structures, from 10m single 600mm centres Structure through to 130lm 2m height x 12m wide structures
