Publications and NoticesLine marking night works to be undertaken on Northern Connector
Wednesday, 7 December 2022
Audio tactile line marking is being installed on the Northern Connector, between Wingfield and Waterloo Corner, to improve safety and lane visibility for motorists.
Audio tactile line marking is a combination of line marking and raised profile thermoplastic 'bumps' that make a noise when driven over, providing additional visibility and safety in low light and wet weather conditions.
The night works are scheduled to commence from 8pm on Monday, 12 December 2022, and will be completed by 6am on Friday, 16 December 2022 (weather permitting). Works will be undertaken each night between 8pm and 6am.
To safely undertake these works, the following traffic arrangements will be in place:
- Northbound carriageway (all lanes) of the Northern Connector will be closed from 8pm to 6am on Monday, 12 December and Tuesday, 13 December 2022. During these night closures, traffic will detour via Salisbury Highway, Port Wakefield Road and Heaslip Road.
- Southbound carriageway (all lanes) of the Northern Connector will be closed from 8pm to 6am on Wednesday, 14 December and Thursday, 15 December 2022. During these night closures, traffic will detour via Port Wakefield Road and Salisbury Highway.
- The road will be re-opened each morning in time for peak traffic flows.
The Department previously trialled various line marking options on the Northern Connector to determine the most effective option for the concrete road. Following community feedback it was determined that white line marking, along with audio tactile line marking on the two centre lanes, would be the most effective long-term line marking solution for both carriageways of the motorway.
Road users are asked to please plan ahead during these works, allow extra travel time and take extra care when workers are on site. Observe speed limits, lane restrictions and traffic controllers when travelling through the area.
The Department appreciates your patience while these important works are undertaken.
This project has been jointly funded by the South Australian and Australian governments.
