Мармион-авеню - это 40-километровая магистраль в северных прибрежных пригородах Перта , Западная Австралия, соединяющая Тригг на юге с Янчепом на севере. Он является частью государственного маршрута 71 вместе с шоссе Западного побережья , к которому он присоединяется на своей южной конечной остановке.

Описание маршрута [ править ]

Вид на юг с Бернс-Бич-роуд

Мармион-авеню является частью государственного маршрута 71, от южной конечной остановки до Хестер-авеню , продолжающейся от шоссе Западного побережья. Он начинается в Тригге , как правило, идет параллельно береговой линии Индийского океана и другим магистралям с севера на юг, шоссе Митчелл и Ваннеру-роуд , в основном через жилые районы и некоторые неосвоенные земли к северу от Куррамбина , и заканчивается в Янчепе . Мармион-авеню находится под управлением магистральных дорог Западной Австралии от южной конечной остановки до Оушен-Риф-роуд , города Джоондалуп от Оушен-Риф-роуд до границы города Джоондалуп-Ваннеру и города Ваннеру.до конца пути. [2] [3]

Мармион-авеню представляет собой четырехполосную проезжую часть с двусторонним движением на всем протяжении. [4] Ограничение скорости в основном составляет 80 км / ч (50 миль / ч), с короткими отрезками 70 км / ч (43 миль / ч) возле южной конечной станции в Карринюпе и через Батлер, и 60 км / ч (37 миль / ч) возле северный вокзал в Янчепе. [5]

Trigg to Currambine [ править ]

Мармион-авеню начинается как четырехполосная дорога с двусторонним движением, являющаяся продолжением шоссе Западного побережья , на перекрестке, контролируемом светофорами, с улицей Карриньюп в городе Стерлинг . Оттуда Мармион-авеню идет на север на 1,8 км (1,1 мили), мимо общественного поля для гольфа Hamersley и жилых районов Тригг , Норт-Бич и Карриньюп , прежде чем пересечься с западной конечной точкой Рейд-Хайвей и западной частью Норт-Бич-роуд. . Затем Мармион-авеню проходит 1,5 км (0,93 мили) мимо заповедника Звездное болото на запад и жилого района Карин.на запад, до пересечения с Beach Road и перехода в город Joondalup .

Мармион-авеню затем движется на север через жилые пригороды на 6,6 км (4,1 мили), имея контролируемые светофоры пересечения с Уорик-роуд и Хепберн-авеню , прежде чем пройти через торговый центр Westfield Whitford City , недалеко от Whitfords Avenue . Мармион-авеню продолжается на север через жилые районы, пересекаясь с Оушен-Риф-Роуд , Ходжес-Драйв , Шентон-авеню и Мур-Драйв, и проходя мимо Центрального торгового центра Currambine, прежде чем пересечься с Бернс-Бич-роуд . [4]

К северу от Куррамбина [ править ]

К северу от Бернс-Бич-роуд, Мармион-авеню проходит через 1,9 км (1,2 мили) жилых районов, а затем пересекает город Ваннеру и проходит через 1,6 км (0,99 мили) неосвоенных земель в парке Тамала . Мармион-авеню обеспечивает доступ к свалке мусора в парке Тамала. Мармион Avenue затем проходит через Clarkson - Butler области на 9,6 км (6,0 миль), пересекаясь с Neerabup Road, Хестер - авеню и Лукина Drive. Мармион-авеню теряет выделение State Route 71 на пересечении с Hester Avenue, которое представляет собой самую северную конечную точку любого выделенного State Route в Перте.

Мармион-авеню затем идет на север через недавно застроенные пригороды Алкимос и Эглинтон , обеспечивая доступ к текущим и будущим застройкам. Через 8 километров (5,0 миль) Мармион-авеню достигает внешнего пригорода Янчеп и заканчивается большой кольцевой развязкой с Янчеп-Бич-роуд . [4] Несмотря на это, к северу от проспекта Мармион есть небольшой участок, хотя он обеспечивает доступ только к местной спортивной площадке и более новой жилой застройке в Янчепе.

История [ править ]

Приблизительные автомобильные расстояния (в километрах) от прибрежных пригородов от Тригга и далее.

Marmion Avenue was first built as an arterial road that tracked the then-new outer northern suburbs of Perth, following the limit of the Perth metropolitan area as it expanded northwards. In the late 1960s, the road originally began at Beach Road in Marmion, giving the road its namesake.

Until the early 1980s, the road was a two-lane single carriageway connecting the coastal suburbs of Marmion and Mullaloo Beach. In 1984-85, the road was extended southwards to Karrinyup Road where it joined seamlessly onto West Coast Highway, which had been realigned further inland around the same time. Now the most important road in Perth's coastal suburbs, Marmion Avenue was duplicated up to Whitfords Avenue. In early 1986, it was assigned State Route 71, and from then on was gradually extended as a single carriageway road further north - extending first to Prendiville Avenue (just north of Ocean Reef Road), to Burns Beach Road in 1991 and to Quinns Road in the mid-1990s. Marmion Avenue was finally duplicated to its terminus in 2001, with the last portion being the empty stretch between Burns Beach Road & Quinns Rocks.

In 2000 and 2001, Reid Highway was extended as a two lane road from its terminus at Mitchell Freeway to Marmion Avenue, providing another link to the east.[6] This section was later upgraded to a four-lane dual carriageway in 2015-2016.[7]

After delays due to disagreements at State Government level about what route the road should follow, Marmion Avenue was extended further north to Yanchep and opened to traffic in November 2008. The extension opened as a single carriageway, but earthworks have already been undertaken to enable conversion to dual carriageway at a later date, which eventuated starting from 2018. The extension also features roundabouts at future major junctions. The completion of this extension allowed the future satellite city of Alkimos/Eglinton to begin construction.[8][9]

On July 1, 2010, fixed red light and speed cameras were installed at the Marmion Avenue / Hepburn Avenue intersection to fine people who run red lights and speed, so the number of road deaths in Western Australia can be reduced.[10][11]

In 2016, the existing Marmion Avenue / Mullaloo Drive intersection was upgraded from a non-signalised t-junction to a roundabout in response to a ranking as the 39th Worst Intersection. Pedestrian paths were re-aligned, off-road cycling paths were added, Western Power light poles were upgraded and crash barriers were installed to protect residents and pedestrians.[12][13]

As part of Main Roads Western Australia's Traffic Congestion Management Program, Marmion Avenue's intersections with Hepburn Avenue and Whitfords Avenue were upgraded during 2016 and 2017 to improve traffic flow and safety. Between 2010 and 2015, there were 249 crashes at both of these intersections combined, and 72,000 vehicle use both these intersections per day. This project was funded by the state government, and cost $12 million. Longer and additional turning lanes were added, pedestrian and cycling facilities were upgraded, traffic signals were upgraded and power lines were put underground. CCTV was also installed so that Main Roads can monitor traffic flow. Construction started in November 2016 and finished ahead of schedule in May 2017.[14][15][16][17][18]

During 2017, works were undertaken to widen Marmion Avenue to a four-lane dual carriageway between Lukin Drive and Butler Boulevard. The project cost $2.21 million and was funded by the City of Wanneroo. Construction started in February 2017 and was complete by August.[19][20]

Construction started in 2018 on upgrading Marmion Avenue north of Camborne Parkway, from the current 2-lane single carriageway to a 4-lane dual carriageway. The state government has allocated the City of Wanneroo $23 million to upgrade the road. It is being done in three stages, with the first stage up to Alkimos already completed. The whole project is scheduled to be complete by 2020.[21][22][23]

Future[edit]

Extensions of Marmion Avenue are possible to Two Rocks. However, there are no plans for this at present. Perth's Transport at 3.5 million plan does not say that Marmion Avenue will be extended,[24] and the Department of Planning's documents currently show Marmion Avenue terminating at Yanchep.[25] One possible complication would be Two Rocks's past use as a munitions dump, meaning that most non-suburban sections of the suburb are fenced off.

The ultimate plan is for Marmion Avenue to become a six-lane dual carriageway between Alkimos and Yanchep, and a four-lane dual carriageway for the rest of the road. Also, the intersection with Yanchep Beach Road may be grade separated by 2050.[24]
