The Roe Highway Extension (Roe 8) project is designed to transform the road network in Perth's southern suburbs.聽 It will provide a link to connect inland industry areas and will also improve transport access to locations including Perth Airport, Fremantle Inner Harbour and the future Outer Harbour.
Improved road user safety is seen as a key project benefit.聽 Roe 8 will redirect heavy vehicle traffic from suburban roads including Leach Highway.
Construction is scheduled to begin in the middle of next year and be completed by 2019.
