Lefevre Peninsula Upgrades Project

The northern Lefevre Peninsula is one of the key economic growth areas in South Australia supporting key industries including the defence expansion in Osborne.

It is expected that vehicles using the Victoria Road and Pelican Point Road junction will triple in volume by 2030.
With increasing traffic demand, the current road network will not cater for future road use.

To accommodate this growth, we are upgrading the road network to ensure it continues to operate safely and efficiently.

These upgrades form part of a $100 million commitment to road and rail infrastructure improvements on the Lefevre Peninsula. Jointly funded by the South Australian and Australian governments (50:50) it will support the creation of over 200 jobs per year for the life of the project.

Upgrades will include:

  • a realignment and upgrade of the junction of Victoria Road and Pelican Point Road;
  • upgrades to the Victoria Road and Veitch Road junction;
  • improved bike lanes and footpaths and new landscaping adjacent to the upgrades; and
  • new LED road lighting, line marking and drainage.
