[U/C] M2 North-South Motorway

[PD2/20]

The new traffic light installation is somewhat confusing for vehicles turning right from South Road into Grange Road. When they have turned and are on the bridge they are faced with red lights which only apply to traffic from Manton St. Cars were coming to a halt even though there is no stop line before the northbound lanes of South Rd. Last evening there were a couple of personnel standing behind the barrier on the south side of the bridge frantically waving the right turn traffic from South Rd through the junction.

Another observation from yesterday was that the 66kV power lines along the east side of South Rd from Pym St have been removed from the poles south of Torrens Rd and and have been diverted across South Rd to the new underground cable which runs from the north side of Torrens Rd beside the west surface road to Croydon substation.

I think this will only be an issue while the temporary barriers are in place. The right turn looks like it will sweep more into Grange Rd once they are removed.

SOUTH ROAD / PORT ROAD INTERSECTION

The T2T Project team will be installing bridge beams this weekend to construct the second half of the Port Road bridge.

Due to this work, speed and lane restrictions will be in place around the Port Road intersection with South Road from 7pm Friday 2 December to 6am Monday 5 December.

Please allow some extra travel time and take care when driving through the area.

Overpass sections are being assembled.

The west-bound Port Road bridge deck is taking shape...

From what I've seen on road projects in Perth, they've got a lot of steel reinforcing to place on those beams before pouring the deck.

Major works have started on the Northern Connector project at the Southern Interchange!
The Southern Interchange will link the Northern Expressway with the South Road Superway and Port River Expressway.
If you are interested in working on this six-lane, 15.5km motorway visit www.northhub.sa.gov.au

Still no update to the Northern Connecter designs on the project site.

There is however a glimpse of the current southern interchange design at the 30 second mark of the sod turning video.

Screenshot of the design. Adelaide catching up with the other cities with an interchange like this.

There's another shot of a design map at the 13 second mark of a 9 News segment,



The video resolution is unfortunately quiet poor so it's hard to see what it is. Renders shown later in the video are from earlier (currently published) designs.

Another (I think the longest of the three) rail overpass section being assembled...

[Norman]

Another traffic switch will occur this weekend at the Torrens Road/South Road intersection. This is in preparation for the construction of the Torrens Road bridge.
