And lighting, which often seems to be the last part to be completed.tomness wrote:The bridge is up and I saw a worker walking across it this morning. i guess now we need to wait for the path to be laid, lines to be painted, railing to be erected etc.
I drove under it yesterday and was pretty excited - that will complete a lovely 60km PSP circuit

I've been off for a while hanging out with my newborn boy. How are they doing with the PSP? Getting any closer to the due by late 2016 deadline? LOL

I think the late 2016 deadline was for the at-grade, signalised crossing option. One of Minister Nalder's good acts was stepping in to get us a bridge but it pushed the timeline back. I haven't been past for a few weeks so not sure if it's ready to go soon...Tornado wrote:Hi

Maybe I should take the incentive and go for a long ride to have a look. Must be close surely.wellington_street wrote:I think the late 2016 deadline was for the at-grade, signalised crossing option.

Just be aware the limestone goat track detour path, despite my best efforts, is now infested with double gee. I managed four punctures riding through there two weeks ago.Tornado wrote:Maybe I should take the incentive and go for a long ride to have a look. Must be close surely.

I am not sure what they up on the bridge work, as I am driving underneath. The railing has been up for a while. It appears that they still have some work making good the transitions from the bridge to the ramped pathway approaches.

However, it's a dead end as there are gates just north of the Orrong Rd area. The earthworks for the ramp to connect the path with the new Orrong Rd overbridge are coming on but there is still a lot to do, and at normal WA construction pace I would guess at least a couple of months before it's open.

It seemed about a week from when I noticed the road base to when the western side was sealed so mid-june seems about right.
Hopefully they'll open it to cycle traffic before adding the lights and lines as I can live without those!
This will provide me a much better ride to work from Leeming to Cloverdale, all cycleway except for 2kms of back streets in Cloverdale!
I can't wait!

The lights are up on western side now, but still no lines painted or wire fences up in areas where you can run off path. No way will this be open in July sadly.
One of the guys I work with, asked one of the workers there when they were lifting bridge sections in place when it will be finished, and was told August, at the current pace they are going I think he meant August 2018.

The new Orrong Road overpass bridge was put in a couple of months ago and they have been working on both sides to build the ramps up to it. Most of the earthworks on both sides are complete and quite a few of the spiral ramps are sealed now. Looks like they just need a few railings and lights to go up and finishing touches. I see no reason why July or August shouldn't be on.

He musta been on a MTB as the East/Midland side is still unsealed (road base) and barricaded on The West (Freo) side and at the start of the old overpass!chuckchunder wrote:yeah, a friend of mine rode from one side to the other on Sunday. The bridge over Orrong Rd is luxuriously wide! From what I saw I'd agree, August is believable.... I mean what my friend saw.....

My friend noted that a little "orienteering" was required, and his dad always told him to leave gates and fences as you find them....... he also noted tracks on the pavement from where others had ridden off the limestone apparently on bikes with narrow tyres.....wexford wrote:Nice! I might have to get my friend to ride across it on the weekend
