Orrong Road -это главная артериальная дорога, обслуживающая столичный район Перта , Западная Австралия, а также юго-восточная продолжение автострады Грэм Фармер . Это двойная проезжая часть для всей длины, с несколькими наборами светофоров.
В дополнение к обслуживанию юго -восточных пригородов Перта, дорога обеспечивает жизненно важную связь от CBD Perth до аэропорта Перта , грузового терминала Kewdale и Darling Scarp . Он обозначен H27 ( Rivervale -Wattle Grove Link ) во внутреннем обозначении Main Roads вместе с Welshpool Road к востоку от шоссе Тонкин . [ 3 ]
Описание маршрута
[ редактировать ]Вся длина Orrong Road представляет собой двухугольную дорожку с двумя полосами движения, похожая на другие крупные дороги в этом районе, такие как шоссе Олбани , Уэлшпул-роуд и Абернети-роуд . В отличие от этих дорог, проезжие дороги Орронг-роуд разделены широко усаженной деревьями центральной срединной, что придает дороге больше внешнего вида бульвара .
Западный термин на дороге Орронг расположен к юго-востоку от обмена Parclo между автострадой Грэма Фармера и Большой Восточной шоссе , где дорога переходит от автострады к двойной проезжей части. Дорога продолжается в юго-восточном направлении, образующем границу между Виктория города латленом и города Белмонт Ривервейлом . Первый перекресток светофора встречается на улице Франциско. На Робертс-роуд южный пригород изменяется в Карлайле , когда северный пригород обменяется Кьюдейл к югу от сигнального перекрестка с Арчер-стрит (на улице Сиденхэм-стрит, тупик-де-sac).
The next signalised intersection, with Wright Street, connects Orrong Road to Belmont Forum. The final set of lights prior to Leach Highway is found at the intersection with Oats Street. At Briggs Street the southern suburb boundary changes to the City of Canning's Welshpool with the road now marking the northern limit of the Welshpool industrial area
The road then intersects with Leach Highway at a diamond interchange with Leach Highway free-flowing over Orrong Road, after which the northern side also transitions from a residential to an industrial area. The next signalised intersection with Division and Bell Street sees the road fully enter Welshpool. Two more sets of lights are encountered at Pilbara Street and Kewdale Road. After Kewdale Road the road curves to the east and runs parallel with Welshpool Road 300–400 metres (980–1,310 ft) to the south. The two roads eventually connect to each other via a signalised intersection with McDowell Street as a proxy for Welshpool Road.
Orrong Road's eastern terminus is at the diamond interchange with Roe Highway. As with Leach Highway, Roe Highway is also free-flowing over Orrong Road, which continues as Welshpool Road East from this point.
History
[edit]Orrong Road was gazetted in 1937 from sections of roads at the time that were originally known as Hawkstone Street, Prospect Road, Burswood Avenue and Wickalls Avenue. The road was named after Orrong Road in Melbourne, itself an important road in Melbourne's inner south eastern suburbs.[4]
Since gazetting Orrong Road has undergone major changes. Originally a two lane road with additional lanes at traffic signals, it was widened significantly in the 1980s and early 1990s in preparation for the construction of Graham Farmer Freeway. This required the demolition of several properties. At this time, trees were planted in the median.[5] In 1997 the intersection with Great Eastern Highway was converted to an interchange in preparation for the connection to Graham Farmer Freeway.[6] In 2002, before Roe Highway's extension, Orrong Road terminated at McDowell Street in the form of a T-junction, where vehicles could then travel south to Welshpool Road. Orrong Road was extended to meet Roe Highway in the form of a diamond interchange when Roe Highway was extended beyond Welshpool Road in 2003 and now continues as Welshpool Road East. In 2007 the Leach Highway intersection was converted to an interchange.[7]
Future
[edit]In 2011 a study was announced by the then Transport Minister, Troy Buswell, to look into building an Airport expressway. This would involve upgrading Orrong Road, along with Leach Highway from Orrong Road to the Airport, to a 100km/h freeway.[8] This seems to have been dropped at the time, in favour of the Airport Line.
In late May 2019 a new planning study was announced by Mainroads WA. The concept planned for Orrong Road to be substantially upgraded in the future to a four lane expressway, running in a trench structure along the current median from Graham Farmer Freeway to President Street, before rising onto a viaduct over Leach Highway and Division and Bell Streets. Service roads along each side would provide access to properties on Orrong Road.[9][10] Overall support for the concept is high, with 87 percent of respondents supporting the concept in community consultation.[11] The Town of Victoria Park, (which includes part of the Orrong Road Road reserve north of Wright Street, and all of it from Wright Street to Kew Street) has given support for the concept, noting the high level of community support. However they have noted some opposition to the removal of the existing trees in the median.[8]
