Canning Bridge railway station, Perth

Canning Bridge railway station, Perth

Canning Bridge Station is a railway station located in Como, Western Australia. Situated in the Kwinana Freeway median, and within the Canning Highway interchange, it also features integrated bus services at the adjoining Canning Bridge bus station. It is served by the interburban Mandurah line, with services to both the Perth CBD and the neighbouring city of Mandurah.

History

The station was originally constructed as a bus transfer station, enabling passengers to transfer between bus routes using Kwinana Freeway and those serving Canning Highway. During construction of the Mandurah Railway, the freeway-level bus platforms were removed and converted to rail platforms. The Canning Highway --> Kwinana Freeway bus bridge was shifted to accommodate the rail platforms.

Moving of the Canning Highway bus bridge

To make room for the rail corridor, the 120 metre long, 1800 tonne Canning Highway bus bridge was moved 9.5 metres southwest by using Teflon mats and pulling the bridge sideways. This was a more economical alternative to constructing a completely new bridge. The move did not disrupt ongoing traffic on the Kwinana Freeway.
