Adelaide's North-South Corridor
The North-South Corridor is one of Adelaide’s most important transport corridors. It aligns to the following strategies:
- South Australian Planning Strategy
- 30 Year Plan for Greater Adelaide
- Strategic Infrastructure Plan for SA
- Integrated Transport and Land Use Plan.
It will be the major route between Gawler and Old Noarlunga – a distance of 78 kilometres. Freight vehicles will also use it.
For more than 20 years, the South Australian and Australian Governments have invested heavily to upgrade the North-South Corridor.
To date, about $4.8 billion has been invested to upgrade 67.5 kilometres of the corridor to motorway standards. This enables connections locally, regionally and nationally.
The North-South Corridor provides essential transport links to:
- local residents and businesses
- key employment centres and international gateways
This includes Adelaide Airport and Port Adelaide.
