The St John of God Midland Public and Private Hospital will open on November 24, with the public entrance opposite Midland Railway Workshops in Centennial Place.

Transport Minister Dean Nalder said the “fantastic project for the eastern suburbs” was progressing well.

The State Government has spent $66 million on the project, with an additional $10 million from the Federal Government and contributions from the City of Swan and the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority. In recent weeks, the project has made visible progress and the underpass is taking shape.
