miss_petepie Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Long story short, there is burst water main at mill point road that has eroed the freeway and freeway is closed at this point. Suggest you call transperth as we've just heard that some bus routes are getting through whilst others have been cancelled. Traffic is litterally parked atm and they are trying to divert onto Mill Point Road... we all know at the best of times its not really a nice intersection... suggest taking another way home tonight. -miss pie Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/73496-notice-to-those-who-travel-south-along-kwinana-freeway-home/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyzerr33 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 To all who are unaware, there are major traffic problems that have occurred because of two burst large water mains.* One is on the Kwinana freeway at the intersection of Mill Point Road which is causing major traffic congestion.* The Freeway is closed and will be all night as traffic is diverted into South Perth.* Traffic at last report was banked up past Glendalough Station on the Mitchell.

miss_petepie Posted May 13, 2005 Author Share Posted May 13, 2005 Kwinana Freeway heading south at Mill Point Road is flooded. All southbound lanes are blocked to traffic. All northbound lanes open. We are advising motorists to exit at Great Farmer Freeway or Mill Point Road. Restricted access vehicles are not approved to use the Graham Farmer Freeway. It would be prudent to divert Restricted access vehicles off the freeway prior to the flooding at either Hutton Street or Leach Highway. Traffic is extremely heavy on the approach to the flooded area. Emergency crews are on site directing traffic. there is a semi trailer caught in the middle of the flooding, right at the mill point road exit southbound. It is fully laden with bricks and stones etc and is sinking into the road due to the waterlogging of the road surface.

SeriesIIGTST Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 two friggin hours diverting down to freo and then back towards applecross was NOT fun. (and I left before 5pm to try and beat the rush - HA). Good thing I got TV in my car...and all those people who thought i'd never get a chance to watch it...I'll have you know I watched the entire 5pm news on 10, all of the channel 7 news at 6 and still caught a bit of neighbours...

tigeryas Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 there was also a bit of a pileup near UWA, intersection of Winthrop ave and Stirling hwy... i had to detour and take a scenic route thru Kings park just to get thru to Subiaco. I came out on the other side of Rokeby rd and cars were piled up to there. So that means the line on Winthop went from Stirling hwy up past Sir Charlies and past Rokeby rd. that was awful.
