The Northern Expressway Project started in September 2008 and was completed in September 2010.

The $564 million Northern Expressway Project consisted of two components:

  • new Northern Expressway
  • Port Wakefield Road Upgrade.

Project overview

The Northern Expressway is a new 23 kilometre road with a pedestrian and cycle pathway linking the Gawler Bypass with Port Wakefield Road at a point about three kilometres north of the Waterloo Corner Road intersection.

To meet the demand of increased traffic volumes generated by the new expressway, Port Wakefield Road was upgraded at key intersections between Waterloo Corner Road and Salisbury Highway.

The Northern Expressway project was a joint initiative by the Australian and South Australian governments under the Australian.
