The new Fremantle Traffic Bridge under construction, July 2026

The new Fremantle Traffic Bridge opens on Sunday 1 November 2026, and the community can walk across it from 9am to 1pm at a free festival before it opens to traffic later that evening. There is no event parking, so Main Roads WA suggests walking, wheeling or riding, or taking the train to Fremantle or North Fremantle station, where travel is free on Sunday for SmartRider and contactless users, and using the free shuttle bus from Fremantle Station.
