The most immediate fix is to put Marion Road in a trench under ANZAC Highway, the tramline and Cross Road - killing three birds with one stone.

Will finishing the North-South Motorway draw traffic off of Marion Road that has moved over there to avoid the roadworks and incomplete bits?ChillyPhilly wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 1:47 amThe most immediate fix is to put Marion Road in a trench under ANZAC Highway, the tramline and Cross Road - killing three birds with one stone.
You'd hope that it will draw traffic away, but we both know that that is many years away.SBD wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 8:32 amWill finishing the North-South Motorway draw traffic off of Marion Road that has moved over there to avoid the roadworks and incomplete bits?ChillyPhilly wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 1:47 amThe most immediate fix is to put Marion Road in a trench under ANZAC Highway, the tramline and Cross Road - killing three birds with one stone.
I imagine that completing the main through route is more important to do first than upgrading a parallel road a few kilometres west.
It's just another re-announcement. I'm sure there will be many more re-announcements to come, to create the illusion that more is being done than there really is.ChillyPhilly wrote:Not sure if this has been posted.

That's the Liberal way, unfortunately. Torrens Road and Brighton Road looking like the only exceptions.adelaide transport wrote:Upgrades only.
The focus in the metro area has moved (both major parties) from efficient freight movement to commuter convenience. Is there a major problem (actual not just perceived) with that intersection compared to others? The Northern Connector and Regency to Pym projects might reduce some of the traffic through that intersection, it's hard to tell how much.
Also noticed that there are more than 2 pages worth of road projects, while there are only less than 10 PT projects listed...mawsonguy wrote: ↑Fri Aug 16, 2019 5:47 pmThe Industry Forward Work Plan 2019 has been updated https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q ... 63rdqenKaX
Points of Interest:
- Darlington is scheduled for completion at the end of 2020
- Northern Connector works scheduled to finish last quarter 2019 (that's 4 months away - I think that they'll be pushing it)
- Pym St\Regency Rd works start final quarter of 2019 and finish at end of 2021
- No construction on remainder of North\South Motorway scheduled to commence during period from now to end 2021
- There's a lot of intersection, level crossing and rural road upgrades in 2021 which might keep people employed until the Torrens to Darlington works start.
