How we reported this
The River Torrens to Darlington project will deliver a 78 km stretch of non-stop motorway between Gawler and Old Noarlunga, removing traffic lights from the route, the Department for Infrastructure and Transport website reports. The work forms part of a broader effort to unlock Adelaide’s traffic network and improve movement across the state.
Department statements emphasise that the agency builds infrastructure to move South Australians forward and connect communities to places. These goals appear in quick links on the site that include the River Torrens to Darlington project alongside Outback Road Warnings, Traffic SA, THINK! Road Safety, Marine Safety SA, Adelaide Metro, Service SA, Plan SA and Marine Webcams.
Tram and freeway upgrades target specific suburbs
Tram Grade Separation Projects have already removed congested level crossings in Plympton, Morphettville and Glandore. The changes include new overpasses, additional open space and more accessible tram stops, measures presented as making journeys safer and more reliable.
Two interchanges on the South Eastern Freeway are also being upgraded to improve access for the growing communities in Mount Barker and the Adelaide Hills. The site lists these works under the heading of projects that deliver improved connectivity, safer roads, multiple transport options, social and economic benefits, partnerships with local businesses and jobs for South Australians.
Recent announcements detail spending and fleet changes
A busy western suburbs intersection will receive a major upgrade delivered through an $850 million package that forms part of the T2D project, the department’s featured news section states. Designs for the works have been released.
Six new electric buses have arrived in the Adelaide Hills to fully electrify Mount Barker’s Keoride on-demand fleet and increase capacity for local passengers, another item listed in the same news feed.
Visitors to the site can read a discussion paper on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and complete an accompanying survey, or view the full list of current projects. The page also offers a video titled “Day in the life of a Graduate” on the department’s YouTube channel.
