Resurfacing works on the final section of a 7.5-kilometre project along Adelaide’s South Road have been completed.
The first section of the $26 million resurfacing program was completed in September 2024 with the resurfacing of a 2.4-kilometre section between James Congdon Drive, Mile End South and Ashwin Parade, Thebarton at the northern end of South Road.
The remaining sections of work were completed between Norrie Avenue and Rothesay Avenue, St Marys and Glengarry Avenue and Cowper Road, Black Forest.
Additional resurfacing works were also undertaken on an approximately 400-metre stretch of South Road between Glengarry Avenue and Aroha Terrace, Glandore, just before the South Road tramline.
The resurfacing was completed to ensure the long-term safety and integrity of the road ahead of the start of major River Torrens to Darlington (T2D) works.
Nearly two million recycled glass bottles and just under 13,000 tonnes of recycled asphalt pavement were diverted from landfill to form the sustainably sourced asphalt as part of the South Road resurfacing program.
The resurfaced sections are above where the T2D tunnels will be and are used by over 50,000 vehicles per day.
The South Road resurfacing works commenced in 2023 are fall under the banner of the wider T2D project, which is being jointly funded by the Australian and South Australian governments to the tune of $15.4 billion.
Minor finishing works are still being undertaking in the coming days, so some speed and lane restrictions may be in place.
