Statewide Road Improvement and Renewal Works

We maintain and improve more than 12,000 kilometres of sealed roads across South Australia, including 2,800 km of national highways. Our goal is to ensure safe, reliable and efficient travel for all road users.

To ensure the network remains fit for purpose, we oversee the delivery of:

a range of minor and major enhancement works
annual maintenance renewal works across the network.

This includes:

road pavement, rehabilitation or resurfacing works
minor improvement projects, such as intersection upgrades, kerbing, drainage, Black Spot Program projects and shoulder sealing works
major improvement projects, such as North-South Corridor projects, Princes Highway Upgrades and Joy Baluch AM Bridge
Outback unsealed roads maintenance
