Kenwick Link
Kenwick Link was planned as part of the Roe Highway extension towards Fremantle. It was initially built as a single carriageway, and upgraded to a dual carriageway later. It opened on 17 April 1998, ahead of the Roe Highway extensions from Welshpool Road to Kenwick Link (opened 30 November 2002) and from Kenwick Link to Nicholson Road (opened 21 January 2003). Rupert Street was renamed Kenwick Link as part of the project, although a parallel service road in Kenwick is named Rupert Street.
Building the link required demolition of Packer House, a recognised heritage site that was located at 25 Rupert Street, Kenwick. During construction, an artefact of significance to Aboriginal heritage was uncovered: a maparn stone, used by men in a rain-bringing ceremony. The stone is now in the possession of the Dumbartung Aboriginal Corporation at Clontarf Aboriginal College.
