South Eastern Freeway Interchanges
The Australian and South Australian governments have committed $150 million (80:20) to upgrade the Mount Barker and Verdun interchanges.
The project aims to improve connectivity to the South Eastern Freeway and improve the capacity of the interchanges in response to existing and projected growth for Mount Barker and the Adelaide Hills area.
The project is expected to support approximately 260 full-time equivalent jobs per year over the construction period.
Major construction is planned to start in late 2025.
