[U/C] Re: Main South Road & Victor Harbor Road Upgrade

Victor Harbor Road is progressing quite well. Surface has been laid for 90+% of the southbound carriageway, and between South Road and The future roundabout at Robinson Road, they've marked lines in preparation for the traffic switch. They've also been progressively moving the concrete barriers on ...

[U/C] Re: Main South Road & Victor Harbor Road Upgrade

At one stage I also felt that this direct route would be the best way to go but have since been convinced otherwise. I believe they would be unlikely to build a new section of road where Victor Harbor Rd would get the majority of benefit over Main South Rd especially considering south of where they...

[COM] Re: Armada Arndale (Redevelopment) | $200m

I only know one ex Bi-Lo that was never a Coles, a lot become Coles and closed though. The store I know is Brighton, was a Bi-Lo, Romeos IGA, Foodworks and a Woolworths - n...

I'm starting to wonder if this has been quietly put to sleep 3000 Class Railcars have been seen tested on the branch line.

[COM] Re: The Bend Motorsport Park

Would love to see some nice hills built up around the track / trees on the hills - nice spectator friendly areas to sit and watch racing with some natural shade. After attending the First V8 event at The Bend , this is one top-notch circuit. The track can easily be view from the large viewing mound...

Re: News & Discussion: Regional Transport

I have noticed references to an STC siding at Port Germein and an STC shuttle train from Port Germein to Penfield. I've found online that the siding opened in 2015, but that is newer than any Streetview of the area. Does anyone know what is there and what is carried on the shuttle or how often it r...

Now for some of the pictures. I was using an older manual lens that I haven't used in a while (well actually never, apart from when I first got the camera, but other lens is cactus so this had to do), so some may be a bit out of focus Looking South from the New Off ramp @ Beach Road https://farm6.st...

I was simply referring to the bridge building, if Flaxmill was widened they would have had to do it the same way they widened Beach Road. I have no thoughts along those lines whatsoever. Beach Road has always been a nightmare of a road and I think with this induced traffic once the expressway opens...
