Looks like a positive change to keep traffic flowing

Correct. Torrens to Darlington will be the final link in the North-South Motorway, and the overall North-South Corridor from Gawler to Noarlunga.


Can someone please tell me why it's always "Noarlunga to Gawler", when the controlled access road actually goes (almost) all the way to Nuriootpa ...

But only at 80kph so it's not really a real motorway/freeway. It's a very expensive, glorified arterial road at best.


I'm surprised that it's not going to be 90kph given the remainder of the completed sections of the north-south corridor are set at this speed.



The section between The ...

I've been so out of the last few years with this but this now connects the previously completed Regency to Torrens upgrade all the way down south to the motor-way is that right? So now we have a motorway running through the city right?

Drove past today and the northbound ramp has ramp metering signals. Good stuff.

Whereabouts are these new ramp metering signals?

Going to take a guess and say Majors Rd

Can confirm, I saw them at Majors Road interchange myself last week

Passengers travelling by bus and wanting to transfer at Port Dock Railway Station will have to walk to Port Adelaide Railway Station approximately 700m south during this time.

Interesting that they wouldn’t also suggest using one of the five bus routes that conveniently links Port Dock ...

I hope that DIT has realised the folly in their side-platform idea. A massive waste of space in most contexts - it has caused much of the congestion now experienced on North Tce, with no benefit to tram passengers. The platforms are much less convenient to use than the island ones, as passengers ...

Very interesting read here regarding many infrastructure projects including an underground rail loop through the CBD with a 05 year planning deadline and 5-10 year delivery deadline!

Great to read that somewhere in ...

How many stops would you put on this initial inexpensive service? Would Two Wells, Virginia, Salisbury and Adelaide be enough? Or would you go even simpler and just go for Virginia and Adelaide?


The standard approach for infrastructure expansion is to try to stage it in line with demand.

So ...

and also figure out how the train will move past the Islington and Dry Creek rail yards... Will they move through the yards or will there be new track to bypass them. Moving through the yards will add considerable time to the journey and will require careful planning with the companies that ...

I like it. Great idea introducing an all-stop service between Flinders > Salisbury, meaning the Gawler > Seaford services can run express through the inner/middle suburbs.
I still think a 15 min weekday frequency on the Flinders > Salisbury all-stop line should be the aim if we want to grow ...

I've said this before but Port Dock could (and should) be realigned to go east around the Aviation Museum, there is almost enough of a vacant corridor to get a track running north along the P/R Expressway and then running west along the Northern Connector. This then shares some of the load with ...

I think itd be easier to build a rail freight bypas thus freeing up the existing ARTC track on the Gawler line into a third track, which alleviates capacity issues by operating as a peak hour express track.


The Northern Connector rail bypass would definitely help, but only north of Dudley Park ...

New lines out north to serve the growing suburbs are needed, but can they be accommodated when the Adelaide Railway Station is already at capacity?

Do we need to create an underground link before expanding the system?


A north-south tunnel link would ideally remove most or all Seaford/Flinders ...

Sky rail isn't really a concept here in Adelaide. It was just the Hove crossing that kicked up a shitstorm.

Although concerns could have easily been allayed had it been communicated properly.


It was communicated pretty clearly that any option other than skyrail would require far more ...
