Rivergums Boulevard intersection – proposed roundabout

Over the past several years, there have been multiple upgrade works completed along Baldivis Road, transforming it into a boulevard treatment (i.e. two lanes and a central median) with roundabouts where required. It is expected that the remaining undeveloped sections will be upgraded to a similar urban standard for the increasing traffic. With higher traffic volumes, vehicles from Rivergums Boulevard are likely to encounter difficulties entering Baldivis Road.  The City is pro-active with the roundabout treatment to improve traffic safety and minimise delays in future.  Traffic lights were not considered in order to maintain consistency with the boulevard treatment along Baldivis Road.

Yes, there will be disruption to the access of properties and schools during the construction, however we will minimise any inconvenience by providing on-site traffic management.  Should there be road closures, detour routes will be in place.

There will be off-road cycle path facilities for cyclists travelling both ways through the roundabout.

The existing street lighting will be upgraded as part of this project, to Western Power standards.

The centre of the roundabout will likely include non-irrigated planting.  An example is provided below.
