The low res image from 21 May 2017 also shows a structurte being built across Barker Inlet and, possibly, land clearing behind Golbe Derby to the north of Dry Creek.

Nearmap have updated its imagery from the Dry Creek salt pans northward to June 1.

The Northern Connector main alignment has been cleared through the Bolivar interchange footprint however the space for the ramps on the western side has not. Further north, earthworks for the Waterloo Corner interchange have commenced.

I spoke with the staff at the DPTI Roadshow at Elizabeth today. They were adamant that the Bolivar Interchange would have on and off ramps for both north and south ound traffic.

I haven't seen anyone post the link to the May newsletter, but even the diagram there is not clear for Bolivar, but it clearly shows that three out of four ramps will be built at Waterloo Corner. Perhaps it's not announced yet.

I emailed asking about the southern interchange.
Thank you for your query regarding the Northern Connector.

Final concept design documents including the Southern Interchange will be made available and published on the Northern Connector website.

The website is currently being updated with the latest information and documents and should be available early August.

The following DPTI video contains some footage of the northern interchange works towards the end.

The latest design is still yet to appear on the DPTI project site.

This photo was taken on Sunday 27 August 2017 and shows the earthworks roughly where the Globe Derby Interchange was supposed to go (i.e. about 150m south of Globe Derby Drive). Interestingly, the construction method appears to be different from that being employed sightly to the north where they are just dumping dirt on the saltpans. At this site they are using aggregate. I thought that it might have something to do with the bridge across Dry Creek but that is further to the south.

The earthworks for the Waterloo Interchange are well advanced with the earthern ramps on either side of the bridge taking shape.

Drove past at 11.30pm (Thursday, 31 August) and light poles were starting to go down. Diversions were in place, with the ramp being closed altogether in both directions. The diversion directed cars left, west, onto PRExy, then to an effective U-turn at the Hanson Road interchange.

Nearmap has updated its imagery over the Northern Connector project footprint to October 3. A cleared area in the northwest quadrant of the Bolivar Road interchange indicates the possibility of a loop ramp but it may also be a storage area. A new road spur into the treatment plant is clearly visible from the low resolution demo image. I'm not sure as to whether the cleared footprint supports north side ramps but my impression is that it may not.

That footage shows work not quite visible or discernible from road level, and I drive around that area on a pretty frequent basis. Cool video.
