Additional capacity for city-bound motorists at Hindmarsh junction
A second left turn lane from Manton Street into Adam Street, Hindmarsh will provide additional capacity for city-bound traffic.
The $6.2 million upgrade will also improve pedestrian and cyclist safety, and provide safer and easier access to the sporting, entertainment and recreational hub, which includes the Adelaide Entertainment Centre and Hindmarsh Stadium.
Following community consultation, the project team has retained the right-hand turn from Manton Street onto Adam Street to allow access to the Hindmarsh precinct directly via Adam Street.
The existing city-bound lane on Manton Street and east-west access in both directions along Adam Street have also been retained.
The design also features new realigned pedestrian crossings and a cyclist indented hook-turn facility to cater for cyclists turning right onto Adam Street.
The upgrade is being delivered by South Australian company Bardavcol, who have completed other road projects such as the Flagstaff Road Upgrade and the Main North Road and Nottage Terrace Intersection, as well as the recently-completed Selgar Avenue link road.
Main works will commence in coming weeks, with completion expected by early 2025. The project is expected to support around 30 jobs during construction.
The upgrade is one of a suite of enhancements to intersections near the River Torrens to Darlington Project that will collectively ensure the Adelaide road network functions efficiently, both during construction of the project and once it is completed.
