The City of Cockburn’s Regional and Major Roadworks Plan identifies $25 million in improvements to Hammond Road (Russell Road to Beeliar Drive) from 2008 to 2023. Approximately $9.3 million of improvements have been completed.
The section of Hammond Road between Branch Circus and Bartram Road in Success is scheduled next for an upgrade. This involves upgrading Hammond Road to two lanes in each direction and installing roundabouts at three key intersections.
The first stage of works between Branch Circus and Bartram Road is to relocate the underground services such as water, Telstra, gas and Western Power infrastructure. Stage two is to duplicate this section of road. This stage will commence in 2021-22 after service relocations.
