3 unusual facts about Kwinana Freeway


Kwinana Freeway

In 1999, the state government announced that a two way bus transitway would be built in the Kwinana Freeway median, to link Perth's Esplanade Busport with the Murdoch station at South Street.

On 20 December 2012, the State Transport Minister Troy Buswell, with Federal MP Gary Gray and State MLA for Riverton Mike Nahan, officially opened the northbound lane.

A flora survey found no rare species, and only one priority species, Lasiopetalum membranaceum, near the southern end of the project.


Cockburn Central railway station

Situated in the Kwinana Freeway median strip, and just north of the Beeliar Drive/Armadale Road interchange, it is also integrated with the Success Park 'n' Ride bus station.
