The northern rail yard will be next to the Dry Creek railway station and the existing stabling facility at Lonsdale will be expanded. Transport Minister Patrick Conlon said the relocation would complement the Government's plans to revolutionise the state's public transport system. "We are going to be relocating quite an unattractive yard to new facilities north and south, and clear the site for the construction of the brand new world-class hospital," he said. "I think a hospital on this site will obviously be a far more attractive first viewpoint when you are entering the city. "Because we are rolling out $2 billion worth of new investment in rail, it means we can incorporate the needs of that new rolling stock into the facilities as we move them."

Construction at the Dry Creek site is expected to be complete in 2010, with Lonsdale finished in 2011. Health Minister John Hill said it was an important step towards the new hospital. "With remediation work soon to get under way on the site, plus the public consultation on what facilities should be in the new hospital, we are really making progress," he said.

The Nowergup train depot in Perth's northern suburbs has been designed to fit within the median of the Mitchell Freeway when it is extended to Clarkson. Looking at that photo above, there's plenty of room to do the same thing here.

The middle of the road has been ripped up and it appears there will no longer be two sections. I'm guessing it's all to do with the tram that's going to be going up Semaphore road. They're also starting to erect possible cable polls (or whatever they're called), but they could also be street lights.
