As part of these works, the Department are upgrading the bridge over Junction Creek, on Onkaparinga Valley Road, near Bridge Street Balhannah. These works are jointly funded by the Australian and South Australian governments.What to expect
Works to upgrade the bridge over Junction Creek in Balhannah are continuing with the majority of works being undertaken during the day. Traffic will be moved onto the westbound lane from 4 September 2024, so the Department can work on the other side of the bridge.
Work will be undertaken between 7am and 5pm, Monday to Saturday. Some night works will be required in mid-September for approximately 3 nights between 7pm and 5am, weather permitting to carry out asphalt works. Properties in the vicinity of these works will be provided advance notice prior to night works commencing and onsite signage will be in place.
To safely facilitate these works, traffic will continue to be reduced to a single lane on Onkaparinga Valley Road with temporary traffic signals in place to control the direction of traffic, at all times. Speed restrictions will be in place throughout the work area for the duration of the project. Please follow traffic management directions while works are in progress and take extra care when workers are on site.
During the works, there will be some noisy disruptions from time to time, and the Department will do their best to keep the noise to a minimum.
Bridge works are expected to be complete late September 2024, weather permitting. Minor finishing works will be undertaken following the completion of these works.

Update: Road upgrade works Croft Road Lenswood (Coldstore RD - Fox Creek Bike Park)
Share Update: Road upgrade works Croft Road Lenswood (Coldstore RD - Fox Creek Bike Park) on Facebook Share Update: Road upgrade works Croft Road Lenswood (Coldstore RD - Fox Creek Bike Park) on Twitter Share Update: Road upgrade works Croft Road Lenswood (Coldstore RD - Fox Creek Bike Park) on Linkedin Email Update: Road upgrade works Croft Road Lenswood (Coldstore RD - Fox Creek Bike Park) linkUpdate 7 May 2024
Croft Road will be CLOSED from Wednesday 8th May until Wednesday 15th May, including the weekend (11th / 12th May) for the final stage of construction works. The full closure is required to allow the road base stabilisation works to be undertaken safely as the specialised construction plant is large and the road is narrow and windy.
The detour via Edwards Hill Road will remain in place to provide access to the Fox Creek Bike Park upper car park and Anderson Hill Winery.
Upgrade works have commenced on Croft Road in Lenswood, between Coldstore Road and the Fox Creek Bike Park upper car park.
This section of Croft Road is approximately 1.8km long. The works will include minor widening, changes in geometry to better meet modern design standards, installation of safety signage and construction of a stabilised pavement with a sprayed seal wearing course. The project will provide a safer, smoother ride for motorists as they traverse Croft Road as well as reduced ongoing maintenance for Adelaide Hill Council.
The project will commence in late April 2024 or early May 2024, weather permitting.
During this period this section of Croft Road will be closed during work hours (7am – 5pm Mon-Fri), with a detour in place to the Fox Creek Bike Park upper car park via Edwards Hill Road.
The road will be made safe and opened after hours and on weekends, with reduced speed limits in place.
A notification board has been installed at the Coldstore Road end to provide advanced notice of the road closure.

Montacute bridge vehicle weight limits in place
Share Montacute bridge vehicle weight limits in place on Facebook Share Montacute bridge vehicle weight limits in place on Twitter Share Montacute bridge vehicle weight limits in place on Linkedin Email Montacute bridge vehicle weight limits in place linkA load limit has been applied to a bridge on Montacute Road in Montacute to reduce the likelihood of overloading the existing bridge. Signage has been put in place to give drivers of heavy vehicles advanced notice and detour options. Detours will remain in place until the bridge works are complete.
A structural condition assessment was undertaken on the Montacute Road Bridge and it concluded that significant structural rehabilitation works are required. A consultant has been engaged to develop a design that replaces the existing bridge with a new structure. The objective of this structural design is to improve road safety for all users by replacing the deficient structure that has exceeded its serviceable design life.
A load rating is being applied to reduce the likelihood of overloading the existing bridge in the interim.
A start date for the bridge works has not been confirmed and we will let the community know ahead of construction.
