Safety improvements at the intersection of Lake and Ruth Streets, Perth

We're making some safety improvements at the intersection of Lake and Ruth Streets as part of our 2026/27 Low Cost Urban Safety Program.

The work includes a raised safety plateau at the intersection and a speed hump on Ruth Street to help slow traffic and make the area safer for everyone.

Preparation works are expected to start on Tuesday 24 November, with construction due to finish by Friday 11 December.

What work is happening and when?

  • Drainage improvements: 24 November to 1 December

  • Kerb replacement: 30 November to 1 December

  • Asphalt works: 4 to 8 December

What to expect during works

Parking near the work areas will be restricted at times to allow our crews to safely carry out the work and access the necessary equipment.

During asphalt works, there will be a period of around four hours when vehicles won't be able to access the affected area. This allows the new surface to set properly.

Full access will be restored at the end of each shift.

Thanks for your patience while we carry out these improvements.
