Maylands residents fear the demolition of two 100-year-old wooden bridges will destroy the fabric of their suburb.
They say plans to replace the Seventh and Third Avenue bridges with modern, longer, higher and wider bridges is disrespectful to the area's heritage.
They also fear the new bridges will lead to more traffic.
But Main Roads WA says the bridges have reached the end of their design lives and need to be replaced for safety reasons.
Under their plans, the Seventh Avenue bridge will be demolished early this year, with the construction of a new bridge expected to take a year. The Third Avenue bridge will then be demolished and replaced.
Local resident Marnie Richardson said the Seventh Avenue bridge had become a focal point - "even a defining feature" - of Maylands.
"These kinds of things are what make Maylands an interesting place to live," she said. "Once those links to the past are gone they can not be replaced."
Maylands Residents and Ratepayers Association chairman Roger Tomlins said it was disappointing that locals had not been consulted during the design stages of the new project.
"If we had been involved, we would have to incorporate some of the existing bridges in the new ones," he said.

DEMOLITION work is sEt to start this weekend on Whitehavens former bus station.
John Groves, Copeland Councils head of nuclear, energy and planning, told The Whitehaven News this week: We have met with the bus stations owners and Highways representatives and some demolition of the lower workshop on Wellington Row will take place this weekend.
Our building control staff consider that some work needs to be done now to keep the buildings safe.
The owners representatives are working with Highways to agree arrangements to continue the demolition following this emergency work.
Special planning consent was granted in September for the demolition because it falls in Whitehavens Conservation Area and the art-deco building is said to be architecturally significant. Steps will be taken to retain as much of the structure as possible, particularly the boundary walls.

Demolition work at bus station
TREASURE ISLAND, Calif.
The demolition of the old, seismically unsafe eastern span of the Bay Bridge is facing a paperwork delay that could leave the precarious pathway standing for months longer than originally planned.
KTVU Consumer Editor Tom Vacar climbed up on the old span Wednesday and found out why Caltrans is saying it had to shift resources for what it called the greater good.
Caltrans officials noted there was never a final tear down date for the old span, but instead a projected range of three to five years to complete the project. According to the latest, ever-changing projections, demolition of the old Bay Bridge span is now five months behind schedule and $5 million over budget.
That delay occurred largely because Caltrans -- worried that a major quake could collapse the old bridge -- took its staff off demolition to get the new bridge open by Labor Day.
"Project staff made the decision to focus on getting traffic on the seismically safe bridge and there's a finite amount of time, finite amount of staff," explained Bay Bridge Project spokesman Andrew Gordon.
That staff shift slowed the permitting process for the demolition. According to officials, the pedestrian and bike path extending to Treasure Island will now open summer of next year instead of early next year.
The real worry remains that the new tower span could be damaged if the old span collapses in a major quake.
"But we're also looking at ways to make up that time with other contracts," said Gordon.
The possible $5 million delay cost is well within the existing Bay Bridge project budget. Big project engineers will tell you in any major project, whether construction or demolition, there is no set ending date. It's just too complicated. At best it's an educated guess.
