[edit] History

The Canning Bridge railway station is currently under construction, as part of the New MetroRail Southern Suburbs Railway project. The lower concourse of the Canning Bridge bus station is being converted into train platforms.

To make room for the rail corridor, the 120 metre long, 1800 tonne Canning Highway bus bridge was moved 10 metres to the west using a unique process of teflon mats and pulling the bridge sideways.
