north-south corridor Darlington Upgrade Project

Darlington Upgrade ProjectThe Darlington Upgrade Project is the next step in the North-South Corridor project and involves the upgrade of the 2.3 kilometre section of Main South Road between the Southern Expressway and Ayliffes Road.

The $620 million project ($496 million federally funded and $124 million state funded) will:

> Provide non-stop access between the Southern Expressway and Ayliffes Road/Shepherds Hill Road intersection.

> Maintain local access to the area.

> Improve traffic efficiency and safety.

> Encourage and improve walking, cycling and public transport opportunities.

> Enhance local access for the community.

> Provide opportunities for urban, landscape and environmental improvements.

> Compliment the culture and unique character of the Darlington precinct.

At the time of the project announcement in May 2014, a concept design was released for public comment. The key features of this design were:

> A new lowered road on the western side of South Road that will allow non-stop flow of traffic from the Southern Expressway to the Ayliffes Road intersection with South Road.

> A parallel surface road (an upgraded South Road) along the current South Road alignment to ensure all existing arterial and local road connections remain in place and operate as they do now.

> The extension of Flinders Drive from South Road to Sturt Road to enable more efficient public transport access to Flinders Medical Centre, Flinders Private Hospital and Flinders University.

This concept can be found on the project website at: www.infrastructure.sa.gov.au/south_road_upgrade/northsouthcorridor/darlington_upgrade_project.

The feedback we received on the current concept design, together with further engagement with stakeholders and the local community, and additional traffic, environmental and social investigations resulted in the development of an alternative concept scheme – as shown overleaf.

The key features of the alternative concept scheme include:

> A non-stop motorway between the Southern Expressway and the Ayliffes Road/Shepherds Hill Road intersection.

> A lowered motorway that passes underneath Flinders Drive and Sturt Road.

> Main South Road (at grade) service roads along both sides of the motorway to provide connections to Flinders Drive, Sturt Road and most local roads.

> Full free flow interchange at the Southern Expressway/Main South Road junction with dedicated ramps providing direct access to and from the new motorway and Main South Road.

> Enhanced overall traffic performance due to the addition of access to the non-stop motorway for north-bound traffic on Main South Road.

> Improved safety for pedestrians and cyclists due to Main South Road (at grade) being positioned on the outside of the motorway, resulting in smaller, staged intersections and crossing points.

> No changes to Main South Road/Ayliffes Road Intersection.

The design has taken into consideration the future transport needs of Adelaide and allows for connection to the next stage of the North-South Corridor when it is upgraded in the future.

Minor intersection upgrade works will also be undertaken at the Marion Road/Sturt Road intersection to cater for the redistribution of traffic during the construction period.

Project Timeline

What’s next?Community feedback is being sought on the alternative concept scheme and project. Your feedback is really important to us and will be used to determine the scheme we take forward into detailed design and construction. The period for feedback closes on 30 April 2015.

A Project Assessment Report (PAR) will be released in mid 2015. The purpose of this Report is to outline specific

details of the project, summarise investigations, planning and design development work to date and present the effects and opportunities of the project.

A Project Assessment Supplement Report will also be developed and will respond to queries and comments raised.

Major construction is expected to commence in late 2015 with the project scheduled for completion in late 2018.

Early works such as utility services relocations and intersection upgrades are likely to commence

in mid 2015, along with the noise modelling process to determine the noise mitigation treatments required for the project.

Further information will be provided in the near future regarding:

> Noise modelling process and mitigation requirements.

> Property acquisition and demolition.

> Early construction works.

> Access changes.

> Construction.
