Infrastructure, Road and Footpath Construction

When
7pm Friday 8 October – 6am Monday 11 October 2021 (weather permitting)

Traffic changes
To safely undertake these works, the following traffic arrangements will be in place during the weekend occupation:

• speeds for citybound light and heavy vehicles will be reduced to 40km/h from east of the Crafers Interchange to west of Measday Bridge.
• speeds for outbound light and heavy vehicles will be reduced to 40km/h from west of Measday Bridge to east of the Crafers Interchange.

Citybound lanes from east of the Crafers Interchange to west of Measday Bridge will be temporarily closed

• vehicles will be directed onto the opposite side of the freeway to allow travel in each direction to be maintained; and
• one lane of traffic will operate in the outbound direction and two lanes of traffic will operate in the citybound direction (with the exception of a short section of the freeway between Crossover 5 and just west of the Crafers Interchange, where citybound traffic will be reduced to one lane).

Citybound Crafers Interchange on-ramp temporarily closed

• citybound vehicles will be required to use the Stirling Interchange due to the Crafers Interchange citybound on-ramp closure;
• local access to streets (Hillcrest Avenue, Atkinson Road and Castle Close) will remain open at all times; and
• access to the Crafers Interchange Park ‘n’ Ride and bus stop 24 (citybound side) will remain available at all times.

Mount Barker Road citybound off-ramp (Measday Bridge) at Crafers West temporarily closed

• vehicles will need to continue travelling citybound on the freeway and use the inbound off-ramp at the Mount Osmond Interchange and then the outbound on-ramp to access the freeway. Vehicles will then need to use the outbound Mt Barker Road off-ramp at Leawood Gardens to access Mount Barker Road.

Bus stop 24 (south side) on the Crafers Interchange citybound on-ramp will remain open at all times. Buses collecting patrons from bus stop 24 will be detoured via the Stirling Interchange due to the Crafers Interchange citybound on-ramp closure.

The Department for Infrastructure and Transport (DIT) has identified Lenswood Primary School for the trial of a Smart School Zone system. Through the use of technology, this trial aims to improve safety and increase driver awareness when travelling through the school zone area on Lobethal Road.

DIT will install a Smart School Zone system to complement the existing “25 When Children Present” signage by installing three pedestrian detection bollards and displaying a warning message to “Check Speed” for vehicles travelling over speed when pedestrians are detected in the school zone area.

When
Civil works Thursday 7 – Friday 8 October.
From Monday 11 October until end October, workers will undertake electrical installations and system commissioning.
Data collection will then be undertaken until mid-November

Pre and post installation traffic speed evaluations will be carried out to determine the effectiveness of the Smart School Zone system until early 2022.

Traffic flow impacts
Roads will remain open, with a 25km/h speed restriction in place while workers are on site. Lane and other speed restrictions may apply, subject to onsite conditions.

Some temporary pedestrian detours will be in place around the works site and pedestrians are advised to follow directional signage. Every effort will be made to minimise impacts to the community.

Access to properties will be maintained throughout the works wherever possible, with advance notice provided if there is a need to temporarily restrict driveway access.

For more information, phone DIT on 1300 794 880 or email DIT.CommunityRelations@sa.gov.au

These works are jointly funded by the Australian and South Australian government (80:20) through the Targeted Road Safety Works stimulus package.

An arborist report has confirmed that a prominent Manna Gum near the main street of Aldgate is showing structural flaws that make it a danger. This tree will be removed on Monday 27 September, with road detours in place during the works period.

Location: Corner of Euston and Mount Barker Roads, Aldgate
Date: Monday 27 September 2021
Time: 6:30am - 4:00pm
Traffic management:

• During the works Euston Road will be closed to all vehicles and pedestrians.
• Vehicles will be detoured along Pine Street and Cricklewood Road
• Multiple bus stops will be closed along Euston Road during the works. Notices will be on impacted bus shelters in the lead up to this date.

The date has been selected to fall within the school holidays to limit disruption to bus services.

In the coming months vegetation reduction works will be undertaken along various roads in the Kersbrook and Inglewood areas. This will involve reducing the amount of vegetation growing in towards the road.

Due to the extent and density of the regrowth generated after the Sampson Flat Fire, works will require the use of machinery that will encroach onto roadways.

This means that traffic management restrictions and speed reductions will be in place in the locations of workers at any given time.

Tree pruning works will be undertaken along Mount Barker Road, Stirling, from Tuesday 31 August until Monday 6 September, in three stages to minimise disruptions to road users.

Works will be undertaken between 9:00am and 4:00am daily.

Stage one: Snows Road to Gould Road
Mount Barker Road will be reduced to one lane for west-bound traffic. East-bound traffic will be detoured up Gould Road, across Baeside Road, and down Snows Road.
In the early afternoons Mount Barker Road will be reduced to one lane for east-bound traffic. West-bound traffic will be detoured using the same route.

Both bus stop 39 and 40 will be closed; passengers should follow directions at bus shelters to the closest alternate bus stop.

Stage two: Pine Street to Twin Street
Mount Barker Road will be reduced to one lane for west-bound traffic. East-bound traffic will be detoured up Twin Street, across Milan Terrace, and down Pine Street.
In the early afternoons Mount Barker Road will be reduced to one lane for east-bound traffic. West-bound traffic will be detoured using the same route.

There will be no impacts to bus stops during this stage.

Stage three: Adjacent to Stirling Oval
Speed reductions will be in place along Mount Barker Road; no detours will be required.

There will be no impacts to bus stops during this stage.

Thank you for your patience during this time.

What: This is the first step in the Gumeracha Streetscape upgrade. Next stage will include new storm water management (by Aug 2021) and streetscape upgrades including footpath/curbs, trees and street furniture by Feb 2022. This is a community driven collaboration and there has been extensive consultation over the last few years. Underground cables are already turned on and working for residents.

When: 7-21 June 2021

Where: Gumeracha Main Street
