Congestion eased at north-eastern intersection
Thursday, 20 April 2023
The new and improved Nottage Terrace and North East Road intersection has opened to traffic, easing congestion and improving traffic flow in north-eastern Adelaide by increasing the capacity to turn left onto North East Road from Nottage Terrace.
As part of the project, the north side of Nottage Terrace has been widened to accommodate two left-turn lanes onto North East Road, improving traffic flow for vehicles travelling between Main North Road and North East Road along Nottage Terrace.
The upgrade has improved pedestrian crossings and traffic islands at the intersection, including new pedestrian crossing lights and ramps, new line marking, and a new eastbound bike lane on Nottage Terrace.
These works complement the nearby $19 million Main North Road and Nottage Terrace (‘Scotty’s Corner’) Junction Upgrade, which was jointly funded by the Australian and South Australian governments, each contributing $9.5 million, and was completed in December 2021.
While delivering the Scotty’s Corner project, the Department for Infrastructure and Transport received feedback from the community that an upgrade was also required at the Nottage Terrace and North East Road intersection.
The Department listened to this feedback and engaged in community consultation regarding the concept design for this subsequent upgrade.
As a result of feedback received during this consultation, on-street parking along Nottage Terrace was retained where possible and the right turn from Stephen Terrace into North East Road was retained as part of the upgrade.
Some minor works including the installation of line marking, footpaths, landscaping and street lighting will continue. Speed and lane restrictions will remain in place during these works.
Following the reconfiguration of the intersection, motorists are advised to take extra care when driving through the area and be aware of the changed traffic conditions.
The $6 million North East Road and Nottage Terrace Intersection Upgrade was also jointly funded by the Australian and South Australian governments, with each contributing $3 million, and has supported approximately 10 full-time-equivalent jobs over the life of the project.
