Anketell Road Upgrade Plans in Progress There's currently a plan in the works to upgrade Anketell Road between Leath Road and the Kwinana Freeway. This is part of the bigger Anketell Thomas Road Freight Corridor project. While no construction dates or budget has been set yet, they've developed a preliminary design for the road. This design considers a future rail connection west of Rockingham Road. They'll use this concept for discussions with involved parties and environmental studies. Here's a summary of the proposed upgrades: - Four lanes for Anketell Road between Kwinana Freeway and Leath Road.  - New interchanges at Armstrong Road and Rockingham Road.  - Upgrades to intersections at Mandogalup Road, McLaughlan Road (limited access), Abercrombie Road, and Leath Road.  - Rockingham Road upgrades near Anketell Road. The project is currently under environmental review. - The Western Australian Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) will assess the proposal after receiving additional information from Main Roads. There will be a public comment period on this additional information later in 2024.  - The Commonwealth Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) will also be reviewing the proposal. Public comment on their decision is expected in May/June 2024. #NorthLaneConsulting #Construction #ProjectUpdates #Anketell #RoadUpgrade #Kwinana #Freeway #Roads #Highway #Development #WesternAustralia

On our recent episode of Inside Out with Belgard, our host, Joe Raboine, chats with Kevin Earley, Director of Commercial Hardscapes at Oldcastle APG, about technical aspects of permeable pavers, the benefits of green infrastructure, and traffic calming. In addition, they discussed the resources and expertise available within Belgard to support contractors and municipalities, and much more. https://bit.ly/3Hnjxp8

Just as we need to reduce embodied carbon, we also need to reduce embodied slavery. For everyone out there working in construction, here is a great short read about how to start extricating the industry from its ties to slavery. #modernslavery #justice #construction https://lnkd.in/eR_VkZWD

Project Spotlight: Perkins Flat Road Welcome to Perkins Flat Road! Our task was to review Perkins Flat Road's design, with a major focus on mitigating dust concerns for residents. We faced many unique challenges on this one, including large native trees and a significant 1800mm reinforced concrete pipe culvert which added complexity. We conducted a comprehensive risk assessment following the Austroads Guide to Road Design, aiming to determine the safest road cross-section while minimising impact on surrounding native trees. The initial proposal for a 2-lane sealed road would have uprooted numerous native trees and extended the major culvert, necessitating headwall removal. Our alternative approach preserved the 1800mm RCP culvert, involving adjustments to pavement width and a single-lane bridge treatment. This solution not only addressed immediate concerns but also offered a sustainable and cost-effective alternative. The project highlights the importance of balancing infrastructure development with environmental preservation, creating a win-win for the community and the natural habitat. This project showcases our dedication to community well-being and environmental conservation by preserving native trees and opting for a solution that minimises disruption to the natural habitat. #harocivil #harocivilengineering #toowoombaregion #toowoombabusiness #civildesigner #civilengineerblog #civilengineeringworld

1. San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) is proposing a $4 billion #rail realignment project of the segment of Los Angeles to #SanDiego #Railroad to move train tracks away from eroding coastal bluffs in #DelMar. 2. Three alternate routes are being considered:   - Alternate A: 6.8 miles, starting in Solana Beach, going through the fairgrounds   - Alternate B: 5.3 miles, tunneling under Torrey Pines Reserve and Del Mar   - Alternate C: 4.9 miles, shortest option, entering near Torrey Pines State Beach 3. The project aims to improve rail reliability and frequency while relocating tracks off unstable bluffs. 4. Public input is being gathered during a scoping period until July 19, 2024. 5. Concerns have been raised by residents and officials:   - Potential disruption to local communities and businesses   - Impact on investments already made in existing rail infrastructure   - Possible use of eminent domain   - Environmental impacts 6. Solana Beach officials are particularly concerned about Alternative A, citing lack of engagement from SANDAG and potential negative impacts on the city. 7. Del Mar city council is preparing a response to SANDAG's Notice of Preparation (NOP) and considering legal action. 8. The project timeline includes completing a draft environmental document in 2025 and finalizing it by 2026. 9. Funding is expected to come primarily from state and federal sources, with $300 million already designated by California for planning and design. 10. SANDAG emphasizes that the current alternatives are not final and can be modified based on community feedback.
