There’s now a new way to Turkey Point!
The South West community can continue to enjoy the amenity of the estuary and public open space, with a direct route over the Preston River connecting Estuary Drive to Leschenault Drive.
The new bridge aims to reduce congestion and interaction between port-related vehicles and public road users.
The project is part of the Port of Bunbury’s development to cater for future increased trade activity at the Inner Harbour.
Throughout the project Southern Ports has been committed to the protection and enhancement of the Port surrounds and its natural amenity – adhering to strict environmental standards during construction, on-ground environmental management, and the revegetation of a degraded area of the broader site.
