Norfolk Street road closure

Wednesday 14 October 2020, 7am to 5pm

Thank you for your patience and understanding as essential construction work in Fremantle progresses to renew ageing water pipes and help secure the area’s water supply for decades to come.

What is happening?

As part of this essential contruction work, DM Civil on behalf of Water Corporation is required to fully close Norfolk Street to move the pipe alignment from the northern side of the road to the southern side of the road.

This work will result in a full road closure of Norfolk Street.

When is this happening? 

Norfolk Street will be fully closed in both directions on Wednesday 14 October from 7am to 5pm.

All construction work on Norfolk Street is planned for completion around mid November.

How will this impact me?

During the full road closure traffic management will be in place. 

Stricly local traffic only can access by speaking to traffic controllers stationed at both ends of the street. Traffic controllers will be able to assist local traffic to their driveways or provide alternative directions to non-local traffic. Please expect traffic delays.

During this closure, the driveway of Unit 1-18/7 Norfolk Street will be accessible from the South Terrace entrance to Norfolk Street. All other driveways can be accessed via the Marine Terrace entry to Norfolk Street.

Access to footpaths will be maintained and Norfolk Lane will remain open. For more details, view the traffic flow map overleaf. 

We understand this essential work will impact nearby residents and businesses and apologise for the disruption. We will work closely with you to minimise disruption as much as possible.

Construction work on Essex Street, Essex Lane, Leake Street,

Cantonment Street and Phillimore Street

(last updated 20 August 2020)

As part of essential construction work in Fremantle, Water Corporation’s authorised contractor DM Civil is renewing ageing water pipes and upgrading the stormwater drainage network.

This work will help secure the area’s water supply for decades to come and improve Fremantle’s stormwater capacity and prevent flooding and damage in the future.

What is happening?

Thank you for your patience and understanding while work continues to renew belowground ageing water pipes and upgrade the stormwater drainage network in Fremantle.

Construction work is progressing on Essex Street, Essex Lane, Leake Street, Cantonment Street and Phillimore Street.

We expect to be able to temporarily re-open the Leake Street and Market Street intersection by late next week following temporary road reinstatement. 

We will have to come back in September to finalise the work on Leake Street, which will include pressure testing, service connections and transfers, decommissioning of the old service and final reinstatement. This will result in customer impacts – we will keep you updated.

Construction work has also recommenced on Phillimore Street following the safe removal of what is believed to be an old stormwater drain.

Work on the pipe renewal and drainage upgrade projects will result in customer and traffic impacts.
