As you may know, the Public Transport Authority (PTA) is creating a west-bound (away from the CBD) bus-only lane on Mounts Bay Road, from Hackett Drive to Broadway.

The works will be carried out from mioduring the next 20 weeks, between Sunday and Thursday nights, during the hours of 8pm - 6am.

The bus-only lane will help Transperth provide a more reliable bus service by bypassing congestion and helping road traffic flow more smoothly. It will also support the University’s efforts in providing improved and alternative transport options to and from the Crawley campus.

The work, starting on Monday 09 March, will include:

· Reducing the median strip between Hackett Drive and Winthrop Avenue to create a new traffic lane.

· Modifying the Mounts Bay Road and Broadway intersection.

· Road resurfacing.

Bus lanes may be closed during night-time hours, however will be open during daylight hours. Bus stops for the 23, 97, 102, 107 and 950 services along this short section of works may be temporarily relocated, or closed, during this work.

The University will liaise closely with the PTA to provide notice to staff or students of any significant disruptions, however bus-users are urged to sign up for free ‘My Alert’ email updates, via www.transperth.wa.gov.au , to stay informed of changes to their service.
