About the project

We are using the latest technology to upgrade the road between Crafers and Glen Osmond to a managed motorway. This will make your journey on the South Eastern Freeway safer and more reliable.

This project will improve network intelligence, lane management, traveller information and incident response. This will help to improve travel time reliability on the South Eastern Freeway.

Location

South Eastern Freeway - Crafers to Glen Osmond.

Funding

$200 million funded by Australian and South Australian governments (50:50).

What's happening

The project is currently out to tender.  Early works are scheduled for late 2026, with major construction commencing in early 2027.

More information will be shared with the community as it becomes available.

Works will include:

• extending and upgrading the Intelligent Transport System (ITS) equipment, such as thermal incident detection systems, new and replacement Closed Circuit Television (CCTV), Lane Use Management Signs (LUMS) and Variable Message Signage (VMS)
• installing new moveable centre barrier gates in the road median between Crafers and Glen Osmond to allow us to contraflow traffic on the other carriageway in the event of a major crash or carriageway closure.

These works will deliver an extension to the existing Managed Motorway (Stirling to Crafers) that was completed in February 2021.
