What to expect

Main resurfacing works are now complete along South Road between Bennet Avenue, Melrose Park and Glengarry Avenue, Glandore. Finishing works, including the second coat of line marking and service cover replacement/adjustments are continuing and are expected to be complete in early October 2023 (weather permitting). These finishing works will be undertaken at night, Sunday to Friday, between 6pm and 7am (weather permitting).

Traffic restrictions

South Road will remain open to traffic at all times; however, the following restrictions are required to safely facilitate these works:

  • Speed and lane restrictions will be in place with one lane of traffic open in each direction during work hours.
  • Adjacent streets are expected to have temporary traffic detours as works progress, please follow local directional signage.
  • On site signage will be in place to notify road users of local detours as the works progress.
  • All lanes on South Road will be open outside of work hours, with speed limits reinstated to their original speed.

Please follow signage, speed limits, lane restrictions and traffic controllers when travelling through the area. Motorists should expect delays while finishing works are in progress. Please plan ahead, allow additional travel time, and take extra care when workers are on site.

Residents and local business

Some properties on South Road will have some short-term restricted access. The project team will contact affected property owners, residents and businesses directly in advance. Traffic controllers will be on site to assist with access.

Some noise disturbances can be expected at times while these works are completed, however, the work will be managed to minimise disturbance to nearby residents as much as practically possible. This includes scheduling intrusive works in the early evening where possible.

Pedestrians and cyclists

Pedestrians and cyclists should take care when travelling through the area. For safety reasons there may be some restricted access. Signage will be in place to direct pedestrians and cyclists to alternative access and/or detours.

Public transport

Some Adelaide Metro bus services and bus stops, within the project area, may be temporarily impacted while work is underway, please observe bus stop signage and visit adelaidemetro.com.au for the latest information.
