Works in Progress
Weld St Bridge Replacement
Works to replace Bridge 661 over the Gingin Brook on Weld Street which began after the Easter Long Weekend and are scheduled for completion towards the end of 2026.
Main Roads are managing the project and have contracted Fulton Hogan to do the bridge works.
During the works :
- There will be a single lane closure on the bridge which will cause minor delays. Traffic lights will be manually managed by a Traffic Controller.
- The rest area to the south of the bridge will be partially closed. There will be no restrictions to the access of CU@Park Café. IGA is still accessible via Brockman St entrance.
- The footpaths on both sides of the bridge will be closed for the duration of the project. However, the footpath near the weir will remain open to ensure continued public access.
- Construction noise and dust will be generated throughout the duration of the works.
Please be assured that Main Roads and Fulton Hogan will do everything possible to minimise impacts.
For general enquiries and complaints, contact Main Roads on 138 138 or email wheatbelt@mainroads.wa.gov.au.

Survey Works - Road Condition and Asset Survey Works
Please be advised that road condition and asset survey works will be taking place across our sealed road network over the coming weeks.
For the duration of these works, specialised vehicles will be travelling throughout the area to capture pavement condition data, road surface assessments, and images of road assets.
What to expect:
- Survey vehicles driving throughout the Shire
- Equipment mounted on vehicles capturing road data and images
- There will be no disruption to traffic, but please drive carefully around the survey vehicles
These surveys help us plan future maintenance and ensure our roads remain safe and well-maintained for everyone.
We thank the community for your understanding and patience while these important works are carried out.
Traffic Hazard - Road Closure
Please be advised Bennies Road Bridge crossing has flooded and is closed to traffic until further notice.
Bennies Road is accessible from either direction up until the bridge crossing which is not traversable, and road users are recommended to plan alternative routes accordingly.
We will monitor the situation daily and provide an update once the water levels reside and the bridge has been inspected and cleared of any damage.
As the wet weather continues and conditions change, please report any traffic hazards on Shire of Gingin roads to our Operations crew by calling 9575 5100
Woodridge Pond Fencing Replacement
Please be advised, the Shire has received notification that works to replace the Woodridge pond fencing will commence tomorrow, Wednesday 22 July and are anticipated to take approximately two weeks to complete.
The current fencing around the pond is at end of life and will be replaced with a very similar powder coated pool style fence.
For the duration of these works, temporary site fencing will be installed to ensure public safety.
Further updates will be provided as the project progresses. We thank the community for your understanding as we prepare to deliver these works.
