Jointly funded by the Australian and South Australian Governments, this project with help cut road congestion and build traffic capacity between the city and airport, both during and after construction of the River Torrens to Darlington Project.
With around 60,000 vehicles passing through the intersection daily, the upgrades will include new turning lanes on Sir Donald Bradman Drive in both directions, along with an extended left-turn lane on Marion Road (northbound) heading west onto Sir Donald Bradman Drive.
New bicycle lanes will be installed on all approaches, with revamped pedestrian crossings set to encourage active travel and improve safety for cyclists and pedestrians.
These intersection improvements also include new LED road lighting, asphalt, drainage, kerbing and gutters, with the broader project set to add new public spaces around the intersection also.
