Regional North-South Freight Route Upgrade
About the project
The Department for Infrastructure and Transport (the Department) will be undertaking works to upgrade the established Regional North-South Freight Route between Sedan and Murray Bridge to improve safety for road users, freight productivity, efficiency and network reliability.
This $12 million package of works is jointly funded (80:20) by the Australian and South Australian governments as part of the Road Infrastructure Stimulus Package.
The first stage of the project was completed in early 2021, and involved 39 kilometres of shoulder sealing works between Sturt Highway and Murray Bridge to improve safety along the route.
The second stage of the project includes widening and strengthening three road bridges along the route at Reedy Creek Bridge (Mannum Road, north of Murray Bridge), Marne River Bridge and Saunders Creek Bridge, (both on Ridley Road, south of Sedan).
These bridge upgrades will increase the width of the bridges, providing oversize vehicles a viable alternative to using the South Eastern Freeway and improving freight productivity in regional South Australia.
Barrier upgrades and shoulder resealing works will also be undertaken as part of stage two works at three further locations along Ridley Road, at Pine Hut Creek, Boundary Creek and Milendella Creek.
Project timing
Major works for stage two bridge upgrades at Reedy Creek Bridge, Marne River Bridge and Saunders Creek Bridge; and barrier upgrades at Pine Hut Creek, Boundary Creek and Milendella Creek commenced in mid-September 2021. Project completion across all sites is expected by mid 2022, weather permitting.
Construction update
Reedy Creek Bridge | Bridge and barrier upgrade works are currently underway with completion expected by mid- 2022, weather permitting. |
Marne River Bridge | Bridge upgrade works are completed and safety barrier have been installed. This bridge is now completed. |
Saunders Creek Bridge | Bridge upgrade works are completed and safety barriers have been installed. This bridge is now completed. |
Milendella Creek Bridge | Upgraded safety barriers have been installed. This bridge is now completed. |
Pine Hut Bridge | Works to install the upgraded safety barriers are underway with completion expected by late March, weather permitting. |
Boundary Creek Bridge | Upgraded safety barriers have now been installed. The bridge is now completed. |
Minor finishing works will continue to be undertaken across all sites during March and early April 2022.
Once these works are completed, works to apply the final layer of asphalt on the road surface will be undertaken. Advance notice will be provided via onsite VMS message boards. You may also notice some odour which is common when asphalting works are underway.
To safely facilitate these asphalt works, speed and lane restrictions will be in place. Please follow the directions of on-site traffic controllers and observe traffic signage when travelling through the area.
The Department appreciates your cooperation and patience while these important works are undertaken.
Important information for oversize vehicles
From Thursday, 23 December 2021, oversize vehicles up to 4.2 metres wide are permitted to travel in either direction on the North South Freight Route between Murray Bridge and Sedan.
For information regarding permits and potential changes to requirements please refer to the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) website or email info@nhvr.gov.au
