Mid West Ports Authority plans construction of roundabout for heavy traffic management on Marine Terrace

The Mid West Ports Authority has announced works are set to begin early next year on Geraldton’s newest roundabout, at the CBH Port exit and Marine Terrace intersection. Providing a vital link between the Geraldton CBD and the city’s west end, Marine Terrace is a significant thoroughfare that services the needs of local road users, pedestrians, cyclists and port customers. The MWPA said maintaining safe and efficient vehicle movement in and around the port while mitigating impacts to the local traffic was an important consideration of the project and wider port planning initiatives. The Marine Terrace Roundabout Project is being funded by the State Government program Royalties for Regions. MWPA CEO Damian Tully said construction would start early next year and was expected to take six months, pending utility services relocations. “Works will be undertaken under full traffic management, and while Marine Terrace will remain open for the majority of the construction process, road users are encouraged to seek alternative routes to avoid delays during construction,” he said. “The traffic management will also consider safe access for cyclists and pedestrians using Marine Terrace.”
