The latest snaps from Google Maps* (hey, that rhymes!): The photography for the Bolivar, Waterloo Corner and Northern interchanges dates to 9 August 2018 and has been up on Google Earth for a while. The updates (as at 3 January 2019) only cover the area south of Dry Creek all the way to Darlington.

Re: News & Discussion: Public Transport Service & Policy
Article from In Daily discussing the road lobby's power versus the public transport lobby. Adelaide's public transport users need a more powerful voice OPINION It’s no wonder that public transport users are the bottom of the policy pile when the best-connected and most well-resourced transport lobb...

[U/C] Re: North-South Motorway
DPTI has had billions and billions of dollars in project money over the last 10 years. That money goes a long way towards papering over any inadequacies that the department may have. It would be interesting to see how well it operated in an environment where the project $ had dried up yet the dead ...

[U/C] Re: North-South Motorway
Jeepers, I really hope that picture of a double lane tunnel is just an indicative image because if they’re not going to continue with 3 lanes (as like the T2T, Superway and Northern Connector) it’s just going to be a bottle neck nightmare in there. Have they not learnt anything from Sydney’s M5 lac...

Re: News & Discussion: Cycling
One of the key criticism of MHL is deterring people from riding at all, which they claim isn't true despite not doing any of their own research in their study. Actually, if you read the article, you will see that they refer to overseas research which supports their claim. The fact is it has had a m...

[U/C] Re: North-South Motorway
What's unclear from today's announcement is how they intend to get city and western traffic into and out of the tunnels. City traffic going south could enter at James Gondon Drive but otherwise there is still going to have to be some property acquisitions for any such "interchanges".

Interesting article on bike helmets in the Sydney Morning Herald at https://www.smh.com.au/national/report-reveals-how-many-lives-have-been-saved-by-bike-helmets-20190208-p50wj7.html .

I came accross the following post on reddit.com ( https://www.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/akchcr/maybe_a_dumb_questionbut_can_someone_explain_to/ ) that is an interesting explanation of the use of concrete versus asphalt on the Northern Connector. I'm currently working on Adelaide's Northern Con...

I found these photos on a DPTI website which were taken on 12 January 2019. The first is intersting as it clearly shows the alignment through the interchange of the northern connector, northbound to eastbound off ramp and the eastbound to southbound on ramp. The second shows that the northern suppor...

If there's going to be an Industrial estate in the Salt Pan development then hopefully the Globe Derby Dr interchange goes ahead I cannot see that happening until Elder Smith Rd is extended from Salisbury Highway to Port Wakefield Rd and widened to 4 lanes. Whilst that is in the forward 15 year pla...

Getting it ready to sell the land to a land developer maybe, I am sure Lend Lease could make a nice suburb out of it , they did a good job transforming The Levels swamp into a successful suburb It's only a very small part of the land. For reclamation projects it's normally left to the developer (e....

[COM] Re: Northern Connector | 14km | $1b
I noticed they are reclaiming a heap of land over on the Port Wakefield Rd side of the salt pans, does this have anything to do with the NC project? They've been doing it for about 6 months now. Doesn't appear to be any connection to the Northern Connector. They appear to be reclaiming the land by ...
