Charles Street Bus Bridge and Busway Project
Cleaver Street and Newcastle Street
intersection changes
The Charles Street Bus Bridge and Busway
Project is being delivered by Main Roads on
behalf of the Public Transport Authority (PTA).
The project is reaching its final stages with
changes to the intersection at Cleaver Street
and Newcastle Street in West Perth to be
implemented.
Changes to the intersection include:
 Relocation of existing signals and
installation of new pedestrian crossing
signals
 Construction of new traffic islands
 Resurfacing and line marking
A diagram illustrating the completed intersection
layout is provided overleaf.
Roadworks
Preliminary works are now underway.
From 8 May, motorists can expect single lane
closures on Newcastle Street and Cleaver
Street, with the works at the intersection
expected to be completed by early June.
Night work is also scheduled to undertake
resurfacing and line marking, weather
permitting. Night work will occur between 8pm
and 5am and access to Cleaver Street is likely
to be restricted at this time.
We apologise in advance for the disruptions and
delays this work may cause.
Permanent traffic changes
When complete, Newcastle Street will be
reduced to one lane westbound, after Charles
Street, with a dedicated turning pocket for buses
turning right into Cleaver Street.
Right turns from Newcastle Street into
Cleaver Street will be for buses only.
Cleaver Street northbound, approaching the
Newcastle Street intersection, will be
permanently reduced to one lane.
