Swan River Crossing Alliance

A new crossing over the Swan River for cyclists, pedestrians and vehicles, replacing the existing Fremantle Traffic Bridge, which has reached the end of its service life. A second dedicated passenger rail bridge will also be constructed, while parts of Canning Highway will be realigned.

TSA Riley was part of a team undertaking an independent review of constructability, design, procurement and construction schedule and cost estimate for a new road bridge to replace the existing Fremantle Traffic Bridge and a new rail bridge for passenger trains for the Perth- Fremantle line. The cost estimate review included a review of the Alliance estimate, along with preparing an independent estimate for all works.

The project included the construction of new road and rail bridges (incrementally launched), major service relocations, realignment of the Perth-Fremantle passenger line and modification of the road network. Due to the confined work site, significant enabling works are required, including the construction of a temporary works bridge to allow the construction of the two new bridges.
