History
Ranford Road was upgraded to a dual carriageway between Warton Road and Tonkin Highway. This project was completed in November 2014, costing around $12.3 million, which was jointly funded by the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority and the City of Armadale.[2]
In August 2020, construction began on a new Ranford Road Bridge over the Kwinana freight railway as part of the Thornlie-Cockburn Link works.[3][4] The new bridge, which is higher and longer, will carry six traffic lanes and a dedicated bus lane.[4] Traffic switched to part of the new bridge on 16 November 2021.[4] Construction is expected to be completed by mid 2023.[5]
