WEST Swan Road’s most dangerous intersection will receive safety upgrades as part of the 2018-19 Black Spot Program.

The intersection of West Swan Road and Cranleigh Street will receive $196,667 worth of funding for the carriageway to be widened to provide an auxiliary right turn into Cranleigh Street.

West Swan MLA Rita Saffioti said the upgrades would make the intersection safer for road users.

“The program targets sites with a proven crash history or those with a high risk,” she said.
