[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway

Presumably property acquisition has to precede service relocation, as the services would often be getting moved aside further than the width of the current corridor. Has it been announced whether the tunnels will go below the River Torrens, Keswick Creek and Brownhill Creek? They are all in the sec...

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway

According to the Department for Infrastructure and Transport (DIT) service relocations for the remaining T2D section will start by the end of the year. The contract for those works will be of a similar cost to the whole of the recently opened R2P project.

[U/C] Re: Sealing the Strzelecki Track

The first 50km of the 472km Strzelecki Track has now been sealed. The State Government contributed $10m for its share. Stage 2 will start next month with a further $64m from the State. With the eventual completion of this project, a heavy vehicle journey along this section will reduce on average fro...

So glad the Gov listened to the locals community and Labor around doing it right.
A good result in the end. Its just a pity the government had to have its arm twisted to realise it.

[U/C] Re: Ovingham Level Crossing Removal | $231m

The increase in construction projects (not just Adelaide) using methods to pre-fabricate massive components off site to then be assembled and moved into place has been one of the best advancements in construction in the last couple of decades. It will be interesting to see how big the largest span ...

Re: New City Arena

It seems this proposal is what I suggested in another thread late last year. Except I also suggested where a rectangular stadium may go as well. I believe the idea of putting a new rectangular stadium over the rail yard next to the new arena has been around for longer than that. IIRC the idea was m...

[VIS] Re: New inner-city stadium

With this weeks announced pending closure (mid 2021) of West End Brewery at Thebarton surely this site would be a prime candidate as a replacement for Hindmarsh Stadium. The previously proposed railyards site could then be used for a smaller 15K multiuse arena. Why build a stadium 300m from the old...

I'm gonna guess it's because they have a contracted drone operator filming the project.
More regular drone flights would be something people would be interested in.

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

With newly appointed SA transport minister Corey Wingard promising that in the next 6 months items would be added to the Infrastructure Australia priority list.
Hopefully an underground CBD rail link is one of them.

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

In a few years time SA will be the only mainland state without trains going through its CBD. Adelaide will never have an efficient rail system without one.
With the completion of the Gawler electrification next year this will now be possible. The sooner the better I would think.
