Re: Petrol Station Owners

I've heard Viva will be rebranding most of the interstate Coles Express to OTR (and maybe some will be sold off to Caltex), so I would imagine these would too, given most, if not all, of these remaining sites don't have a nearby OTR that I'm aware of.

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

Victor Harbor Road is open the full length in both directions, 2 lanes each way. Speed limit of 60 still applies, most likely for the standard wearing in of the new surface, as all major works appear to be complete, they may just be a few minor finishing jobs to do, but nothing critical to the proje...

Re: News & Developments: Other Suburban Retail

Thought that building would have been the perfect place for someone like TacoBell to make their move to Adelaide. Harbourtown would be a perfect location for any fast food restaurant to expand to Adelaide, being quite central and obviously taking advantage of heavy traffic passing by as well at the ...

Yeah I did see those photos earlier, I can see the shared path, so demolition makes more sense now. Thanks

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

I dont understand why they're demolising the old bridge. I know that it's probably nearing the end of its useful life as a roadway, but surely as a pedestrian/cyclist bridge, it would have another 50 odd years of service! I can think of several bridges that only remain for these uses and haven't see...

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

I also drove the length of South Road last night, and it's progressing quite well. Tatachilla Road bridge is open in one lane each way, and the majority of the corridor has at least base layer laid. Biggest delay will definitely be the bridge, but I think outside of this, most of the project will st...

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

Another traffic switch has occurred this morning on Victor Harbor Road, between the new roundabout and McLaren Vale. It's switched back to the original roadway, presumably so they can lay the final layer on the new alignment, and do other finishing works, such as a sealed shoulder (which has been do...

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

Current night works in this section should see traffic switch to the new road south of the roundabout within 2 weeks, then a few weeks after that for the Northern half. Will be great once 2 lanes are open because people just don't know how to drive through this area. Sent from my SM-G996B using Tapa...

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

It's also worth pointing out just how much growth this area has experienced. When they did the Victor Harbor Road Junction 10ish years ago, the finished works were great and held up capacity! Prior to that, Victor Harbor Road northbound had one lane turning right through a stop sign, into their own ...

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

Done my survey. My key points were 3 lanes each way between the expressway, and a second turn right lane onto Griffiths Drive. Also noted overpasses as long-term goals, but I'm doubtful they'll be within their budget scope for this area. Also saw comments on their Facebook Post for people suggesting...

Night works started last week and they removed a chunk of the barriers, between the new roundabout and Noarlunga Ave. Tonight, they were laying the first layer around the new roundabout Edit: It seems the new Southbound lanes on Main South Road have opened to the east of the new underpass at Aldinga...

Re: South Rd works

I was driving with plates on the back seat one night and I would have looked drunk to anyone watching me avoid all the bumps and holes in the road.

Top layer is laid and line-marked for northbound now.

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

Looks like big work is close to starting on this section soon. Most of the time since the new road has owned, they've been upgrading the existing water pipes and other services. That finished recently and all ground is pretty much levelled out along the whole stretch so I can see the base layer at l...
