\nThe Urban Congestion Fund eliminates local hotspots and alleviates traffic headaches across the country.
\nMinister for Cities, Urban Infrastructure and Population Alan Tudge said the projects would help streamline traffic flow along the busy Great Eastern Highway.
\n\u201cWe want people to be doing what\u2019s important to them, rather than sitting in traffic,\u201d Mr Tudge said.
\n\u201cThe Liberal Nationals Government has boosted investment in congestion-busting works.
\n\u201cThese projects also strengthen our Government’s firm commitment to ensuring Western Australia gets its fair share of infrastructure funding, now and into the future.\u201d
\nMember for Hasluck Ken Wyatt AM said: \u201cThese commitments are set to make life easier and safer for Hasluck families and businesses on one of the State\u2019s most important transport routes.
\n\u201cPeople will be able to get home sooner, to spend more quality time with their loved ones.
\n\u201cThe Morrison Government has listened to what our local communities are calling for \u2013 and this investment is part of our comprehensive plan to deliver for all Australians.\u201d
\nThe projects build on an additional $1.6 billion of our Liberal Nationals Government’s investment into critical road and rail infrastructure across Perth and regional Western Australia in the recent budget.
\n\u201cThis includes $20 million to construct the Lloyd Street extension and bridge in Midland, which will make a massive difference to traffic flow in one of our most important shopping, commercial and health precincts,\u201d said Mr Wyatt.
\nAbout $13.6 billion has been invested by the Liberal-National Government in West Australian road and rail infrastructure since coming into Government, including $4.8 billion over the past two Budgets.
\nFunding for key WA infrastructure projects in the recent Budget also includes:
