[U/C] Re: [U/C] Re: Main South Road & Victor Harbor Road Upgrade

I dont understand why they're demolising the old bridge. I know that it's probably nearing the end of its useful life as a roadway, but surely as a pedestrian/cyclist bridge, it would have another 50 odd years of service! I can think of several bridges that only remain for these uses and haven't se...

[U/C] Re: Main South Road & Victor Harbor Road Upgrade

Driving along Victor Harbor Road this week I was quite astonished to find they’re building a roundabout on the section between Old Noarlunga and McLaren Vale! Why isn’t that intersection being grade separated? I suspect that insufficient traffic volumes from Robinson & Quarry Roads onto Victor ...

[U/C] Re: Main South Road & Victor Harbor Road Upgrade

I recently received notification of a Major Traffic Switch planned for this weekend for the Main South Road Upgrade Project. This switch will see traffic using the new Maslin Beach/Tatachilla Road Overpass for the first time. Maslin Beach Road will also re-open mid September with limited traffic mov...

[U/C] Re: Main South Road & Victor Harbor Road Upgrade

This week the final Beams for the Pedlar Creek Bridge were lifted into place.

Driving past this morning it looked like one section had already had its concrete surface laid and they were in the process of laying a second section with a concrete pump onsite actively pouring concrete.

Re: South Rd works

For the amount of work being done resurfacing South road between Castle Plaza and Cross road, it seems to be taking an extremely long time, even if the work is only being done at night. I know weather conditions can play a part in delaying work like this, but still.... way longer than it should take...

It's taken me a while to get my new setup going, but I finally have finished editing footage from December 2022 for the Main South Road upgrade. I'll be heading down again in June, hopefully with a much shorter editing time :lol: https://youtu.be/XpHfk9Akhd8 Wow, a lot has changed in the last 6 mon...

[U/C] Re: Main South Road & Victor Harbor Road Upgrade

A Traffic Switch Occurred on the Main South Road Duplication this week. From the morning of Thursday 20th April, all traffic has been shifted across to the new road between the Tatachilla/Masiln Beach Road intersection and Little road, just before Port road Aldinga. I've also read on the SA Infrastr...

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway

I understand why there's not a ramp at Flaxmill Road, and there is nothing significant in that area except the former CFS and St John stations (now moved to Beach Road for closer expressway access). But it always bothered me that Flaxmill Road is such a great standard of road, entirely 2+2 lanes wi...

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway

Am I the only one who thinks there should be an interchange at Flaxmill Road? Having to go all the way to Beach Road is really annoying. I remember there being a lot of discussion around interchange placement for the southern end of the Southern Expressway when it was first being built. Beach Road ...

[U/C] Re: Main South Road & Victor Harbor Road Upgrade

Victor Harbor Road is progressing quite well. Surface has been laid for 90+% of the southbound carriageway, and between South Road and The future roundabout at Robinson Road, they've marked lines in preparation for the traffic switch. They've also been progressively moving the concrete barriers on ...
