About the project

Main South Road is a key route connecting heavy vehicles, commuters, and tourists from Adelaide to destinations along the Fleurieu Peninsula. This road carries around 4,900 vehicles a day.

The road includes many curves and has an undulating environment. This makes overtaking difficult, resulting in delays and driver frustrations that can lead to unsafe behaviours.

This project will deliver critical safety improvement works along the route between Myponga and Yankalilla over five years. This part of Main South Road sees between 1,200 to 2,200 vehicles a day.

What's happening

Input from the community will play an important role to inform the detailed design. More information about these opportunities will be available soon.

The Main South Road upgrades will include:

  • the construction of two new overtaking lanes
  • targeted curve easing and road widening
  • widening of narrow bridges, and culverts.
