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

I understand why there's not a ramp at Flaxmill Road, and there is nothing significant in that area except the former CFS and St John stations (now moved to Beach Road for closer expressway access). But it always bothered me that Flaxmill Road is such a great standard of road, entirely 2+2 lanes wi...

Buried in the additional Program scope is creating a four way intersection between Grange Road, East Terrace and Holbrooks Road, to increase capacity during construction, which is long overdue.
about time, great to see.

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

Regarding Elder Smith Rd, who came up with the genius idea to make the bridge one lane only? During the rail closure, it sometimes took 10-15 minutes to get from the interchange to Salisbury Hwy. Are there any other cities on earth with such narrow minded 'insights'? It would've saved more money if...

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

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...

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

Wouldn’t have thought to use Adam Road like that, not bad. If they can fix the Majors/Black Rd intersection at Main South Rd that would be a great and useful addition to this project. seems like a far more cost effective way of doing it. a fully fledged on off system at the majors road bridge would...

Re: News & Discussion: Roads & Traffic

There's an upgrade coming for Majors Road, O'Halloran Hill. Not sure what it entails, but I assume it could be for a full resurfacing or maybe even a complete rebuild. The road connects Lonsdale Road with Main South Road on top of the hill and is notorious for its bad road surface because of the re...

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

Because at Panalatinga SEXY only has a northbound entrance and a southbound exit, which means there's no way onto the Expressway to head south, or get off heading north, between Marion Rd and Sherriffs Rd, which makes SEXY a pointless bit of decoration for the people living in Aberfoyle Park, Happy...

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

There is little traffic on the road with nearly nothing built on it. Only the suburbs of Hallett Cove and Sheidow Park would see any benefit and it would be a very small benefit. The entry/exit does not exist because it would be a giant waste of money. Yes that's how I remember it. So why all the a...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

Looking like we might at least get a widened Islington station platform (citybound). But yes, some of the masts between Dudley Park and Ovingham are pretty thick. They all appear to be steel. I'm curious how the Park Terrace bridge is being tackled. lines mounted directly to the underside of the br...
