Fremantle Bridge: Perth bridge set to open ahead of schedule on November 1

Key points

• Fremantle's new traffic bridge will open to the public on November 1, ending months of commuter disruption. The State Government will hold a community celebration, and residents will be among the first to walk across before vehicles are allowed on that evening.
• The old bridge closed on February 1, and the crossing was closed for about nine months, at least six months earlier than originally planned.
• The joint State and Federal Government project now costs an estimated $596 million, up from $430 million and more than double the original 2022 estimate.
