Took a drive along the full length of the Expressway this afternoon. A few interesting things caught my eye. Retaining wall adjacent the South rd and Sturt river bridge is progressing well, and the approach ramp to the Marion Rd bridge is about half done. (Marion Rd will be closed this weekend to al...

Some finishing touches are still happening around the place on the Noarlunga Line. Lonsdale is getting new stairs from the platform to the overhead walkway, while the walkway is getting screens installed. The pedestrian crossing at the southern end of the Station has now been closed & fenced off.

The beam's for the Sheriff's Rd bridge are now up on the Northern Side of the road. Sheriff's rd was closed last weekend between 4am sat 16th to 4pm Sunday 17th to allow this, with Traffic diverted to the O'Sullivans beach rd bridge to cross the Expressway. The Southern Side beam will be installed t...

The closures are to allow the rest of the overhead poles to be erected between Mile End and Adelaide, and a few odd missing ones around wayville and the former Keswick stations.

Spans were coming onto the expressway via the current Reynella entry/exit. I also noticed last week at the Beach Rd bridge, the new East bound lanes on Beach Rd w...

I was discussing the Flaxmill Road bridge closure with a Colleague the other day and they made the point that they couldn't understand why it was being closed at all. They thought that Flaxmill Road bridge should have been duplicated, allowing the existing bridge to be in operation during the const...

+1. A logical extension to me, but it should be done after the rest of South Rd has been made non-stop. Ie 10+ years into the future. . Anther +1. This could be included in the longer term plan to duplicate the Victor Rd ( or at least part of). Because of the limited movements in some directions an...
