Tonkin Highway
Encyclopedia
Tonkin Highway, at 45 kilometres (28 mi), is a limited access dual carriageway in Perth, Western Australia
, connecting Reid Highway
in the north with Thomas Road in the south. Mostly a 4 lane highway, some sections of the highway are to a 4 to 6 lane freeway standard; the remainder of the highway has been designed to allow for sections that are not to freeway standard to be upgraded later if required. Some intersections briefly increase the highway's capacity from 4 to 6 lanes. Tonkin Highway's speed limit varies from 80 to 100 km/h.
One of only four limited access roads to cross the Swan River (the other three being Kwinana Freeway
, Graham Farmer Freeway
and Reid Highway
), Tonkin Highway is one of two connecting access roads for Perth Airport
(the other being Great Eastern Highway
). It is also an important heavy vehicle route for the Perth metropolitan area, connecting Perth's northeastern and southeastern suburbs with Welshpool
, a major industrial area for the city.
by Gordon Stephenson
and Alastair Hepburn. The road reservation was formally gazetted in the 1963 Metropolitan Region Scheme
.
Like most Perth arterial road projects it has been built in stages. It was first named the Beechboro-Gosnells Highway, the name coming from the two suburbs it was originally planned to link. The highway's first construction stage was from Welshpool Road to Hardey Road, and it opened in 1980. The second stage south from Welshpool Road to Albany Highway
was completed in 1981. Stage 3 was a north-of-the-river section from Railway Parade to Morley Drive completed in 1984. Stage 4 linked Hardey Road and Great Eastern Highway
, and included the construction of four bridges over the Forrestfield railway marshalling yards, the first bridges in Australia to be constructed using the incremental launch technique. On opening of this stage in 1985, the Beechboro-Gosnells Highway was renamed Tonkin Highway in honour of former West Australian premier John Tonkin
.
In 1988, the northern and southern sections were linked with the opening of the Redcliffe Bridge
. Following minor extensions northwards, Tonkin Highway spent a decade remaining largely unchanged, linking Reid Highway
in Malaga
with Albany Highway
in Gosnells
. Then in 2003, a new southern extension was commenced, and it was completed through to Thomas Road on 16 December 2005. The new extension improves links with the localities of Kwinana
, Armadale
, Rockingham
and Byford
. It also provides a new important freight route, relieving Nicholson Road, Albany Highway
and South Western Highway
of large quantities of heavy vehicle traffic.
with flyover ramps the Tonkin/Leach intersection and the Tonkin/Roe intersection.
Tonkin Highway reaches past the edge of suburbia at its southern extent. Planning provides for it to be extended when required. In the south, the planned route takes it through many undeveloped or semi-rural areas such as Mundijong
, Cardup & Jarrahdale
. South of Mundijong, the planned route deviates east so as to terminate at South Western Highway
near Jarrahdale Road. In the future, the major junction with Roe Highway could possibly be upgraded to a parclo
, cloverleaf
or modified stack interchange
if required, though such a proposal is unfunded and a low priority at present.
Planning is also in place for a future extension north. Such an extension would bring it to Beach Road/Marshall Road, and then link up with a similarly planned extension of Hepburn Avenue where it would be the highway's northern terminus. This could eventually see the Tonkin Highway terminating at Hepburn Avenue. If Hepburn Avenue is built to the same limited access dual carriageway standard as Tonkin HIghway, it would greatly improve access to new urban areas such as Darch
, Landsdale
and Madeley
. However such as proposal of the Tonkin Highway is still in early planning stages and currently there are no plans to warrant the construction.
