Alexander Drive was named after Mr S.B. Alexander, a former Wanneroo Road Board member.[1] Alexander Drive runs through the following local government areas City of Wanneroo, City of Swan, City of Bayswater and City of Stirling It is known as Road No. 7354 in plans and maps. Fitzgerald StreetState Route 56 starts in Northbridge, adjacent to Perth's CBD, as Fitzgerald Street, travelling northwards through West Perth and North Perth before becoming Alexander Drive at the intersection of Walcott Street.[2] HistoryIn May 1932, the Perth Road Board (now City of Stirling) decided to rename Fitzgerald Street, north of Walcott Street, to Alexander Drive after Mr S.B. Alexander, who was a member of the Wanneroo Road Board (now City of Wanneroo) .[3][4] The name change was official made by the state government's Department of Lands and Survey in September 1932.[5] In 1939, improvement works were proposed for Alexander Drive and other roads in the area.[6] These works included concrete kerbing, surfacing with a two coat bitumen seal, and widening from {{convert|16|ft|m}} to {{convert|20|ft|m}}.[6] The north-south portion from Marangaroo Drive to Widgee Road was historically called Uganda Road and was barely more than a track, but was renamed when the dual carriageway was built in the late 1970s. The name change was made official in March 1979.[7] In 2006, the original single carriageway northbound from Hepburn Ave was upgraded to a dual carriageway to Gnangara Road, where State Route 56 ends. Traffic lights were installed at the intersection with Gnangara Road in 2007. In 2011, the original traffic light intersection with Reid Hwy was upgraded to a diamond interchange. Reid Hwy is now uninterrupted over traffic light junctions at Alexander Drive. Major intersections
