Another long weekend finishes as Kooweerup’s streets are in gridlock.
It’s not long before 4pm when Sybella Avenue resident Geoff Stokes looks outside his window to see cars already starting to bank up.
“It’s the same old story,” Mr Stokes said.
“The traffic is a problem on long weekends, but it’s been made even worse with additional trucks going to the desal plant.”
While the call for a Kooweerup Bypass never goes away, days like this make the issue even more prominent in the local community.
“A bypass would alleviate all problems,” Mr Stokes said.
