Historical information

The banner was displayed along Armadale Road sometime during 2015-2017 as part of a campaign by the City of Armadale and the City of Cockburn to upgrade Armadale Road due to the increase in traffic on the road. In 2015 the City of Armadale and the City of Cockburn as part of the 2015 Canning By-election launched a campaign to upgrade the single lane Armadale Road so it could deal with the increase in traffic from private vehicles caused by housing developments as well as trucks accessing the Brookton and Albany Highways from the freeway. In 2015 the Armadale Road, Kwinana Freeway and Beelier Drive intersection was recorded as the seventh most congested intersection in Perth. During the 2015 Federal by-election campaign funding for the widening of most of Armadale Road was received but not for the proposed bridge. This campaign targeted the 2017 State Election for the funding of the Armadale Road Bridge and the completion of widening Armadale Road into a dual carriage way between Anstey Road and Tapper Drive. The campaign was successful and $259million was committed by the Federal ($207.2 million) and State Government ($51.8 million) to the project which was opened in December 2021.
