Works are underway on the first intersection and road upgrade works being delivered as part of the River Torrens to Darlington Project in South Australia.
The construction of the first intersection and road upgrade consists of works to Selgar Avenue link road. Once complete, the upgrade will provide new entry points into the area of Tonsley. These works are being completed by Bardavcol and are expected to wrap up by December 2023
The upgrade forms part of a $850 million package for the River Torrens to Darlington Project (T2D). The upgrade aims to reduce travel times, create a route for commercial freight and provide greater connections. This package will also construct the remaining 10.5 kilometre section of the state’s North-South Corridor (NSC).

The NSC will create 78 kilometres of non-stop, traffic light-free motorway between Gawler and Old Noarlunga in Adelaide’s south.
Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Tom Koutsantonis said the upgrades to Selgar Avenue link road would help to address complaints in the area.
“The extension of Selgar Avenue into the heart of the Tonsley precinct will provide an extra entry point into an area that is today expanding rapidly with commercial and residential development, and which will only become busier in the years ahead,” he said.
The T2D Project is expected to support about 5500 jobs annually during construction.
