Contract awarded for $120M Major Road Interchange

Acciona has been awarded a contract to design and build the Majors Road Interchange Project in South Australia.

The $120 million project will involve the construction of new on/off ramps to provide commuters in the southern suburbs further access to the Southern Expressway. This will improve access to community and recreational sporting facilities from the Southern Expressway.

This is expected to benefit more than 13,000 motorists who travel on Majors Road daily. The project will also benefit the 74,000 vehicles using the Southern Expressway between Darlington and the Reynella Interchange each day.

Federal Member for Kingston Amanda Rishworth said a variety of community initiatives will support conservation and re-vegetation activities.

“The contract award is the next critical step in delivering this project, which will benefit drivers of the more than 13,000 vehicles who use Majors Road each day, a number that is expected to grow with the easier access to sports facilities and Glenthorne National Park – Ityamaiitpinna Yarta,” Rishworth said.

Major construction on the Majors Road Interchange Project is expected to begin in the last quarter of 2023 and final project completion is expected at the end of 2025.

Both of the South Australian and Federal governments have committed $60 million each to the project.
