Managed Motorway (Crafers to Glen Osmond)

The Australian and South Australian governments have committed $200 million (50:50) to deliver a managed motorway between Crafers and Glen Osmond as part of the South Eastern Freeway Upgrade.

This component will improve network intelligence, lane management, traveller information and incident response to improve travel time reliability on the South Eastern Freeway between Crafers and Glen Osmond.

The Managed Motorway (Crafers to Glen Osmond) works include extending and upgrading the Intelligent Transport System (ITS) equipment, such as thermal incident detection systems, new and replacement Closed Circuit Television (CCTV), Lane Use Management Signs (LUMS) and Variable Message Signage (VMS).

We will also be installing new moveable centre barrier gates in the road median between Crafers and Glen Osmond. This will allow us to contraflow traffic on the other carriageway in the event of a major crash or carriageway closure.

These works will deliver an extension to the existing Managed Motorway (Stirling to Crafers), which was completed in February 2021. For an overview of the previous works, please visit https://www.dit.sa.gov.au/managedmotorwaymeasures
