Kwinana Freeway
[edit]The Kwinana Freeway is a 72-kilometre (45 mi) freeway in and beyond the southern suburbs of Perth, Western Australia, linking central Perth with Mandurah to the south. It is the central section of State Route 2, which continues north as Mitchell Freeway to Clarkson, and south as Forrest Highway towards Bunbury. Along its route are interchanges with several major roads, including Roe Highway and Mandjoogoordap Drive. The northern terminus of the Kwinana Freeway is at the Narrows Bridge, which crosses the Swan River, and the southern terminus is at Pinjarra Road, east of Mandurah. Planning began in the 1950s, and the first segment in South Perth was constructed between 1956 and 1959. The route has been progressively widened and extended south since then. During the 1980s, the freeway was extended to South Street in Murdoch, and in June 2001, it reached Safety Bay Road in Baldivis. The final extension began as the New Perth Bunbury Highway project, constructed between 2006 and 2009. (Full article...)

- The "Widening" section, 2011 to present, has been added since this article became an FA in 2013 and isn't up to FA standards. Perhaps run Forrest Highway instead. There are some minor issues with that article, but they should be much easier to fix (which I can do if it runs for TFA) than for Kwinana Freeway. Steelkamp (talk) 15:12, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- if that's the case i'll untransclude this and wait until the article gets updated. Best, 750h+ 15:46, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
