How we reported this
The River Torrens to Darlington project will create a continuous 78 km motorway without traffic lights between Gawler and Old Noarlunga. Designs have now been released for a major upgrade at a busy western suburbs intersection, to be delivered through an $850 million package under the same project.
The Department for Infrastructure and Transport states that its work aims to move the state forward by connecting communities and places. The T2D project is presented as the means to unlock Adelaide’s traffic network, while separate tram and freeway upgrades target safer and more reliable journeys.
Tram and freeway works already delivered
Tram grade separation projects have removed congested level crossings at Plympton, Morphettville and Glandore. These changes include new overpasses, open spaces and more accessible tram stops. South Eastern Freeway interchanges at Mount Barker and Verdun are also being upgraded to improve connectivity for the growing Adelaide Hills community.
These completed and ongoing works are listed among the department’s featured projects. They form part of a broader program that promises improved connectivity, safer roads and waters, multiple transport options and jobs for South Australians.
New electric buses expand on-demand service
Six new electric buses have arrived in the Adelaide Hills. The vehicles fully electrify Mount Barker’s Keoride on-demand fleet and increase capacity for local passengers. The department highlights this addition alongside its other active projects.
Further details on all initiatives, including the T2D intersection designs and the Keoride expansion, are available on the department’s projects page. Residents can review the listed works and any associated discussion papers directly through that site.
