South Eastern Freeway Upgrade
In May 2024, the Australian and South Australian governments jointly committed an additional $200 million (50:50) towards the South Eastern Freeway Upgrade, bringing the total budget to $350 million.
This includes:
- $150 million (80:20) to deliver the Heysen Tunnels Refit and Safety Upgrade; and
- $200 million (50:50) to deliver a managed motorway between Crafers and Glen Osmond.
The South Eastern Freeway provides the most direct connection between Adelaide and Melbourne. It is a key corridor connecting Adelaide and the Adelaide Hills. As part of the National Land Transport Network, maintaining efficient operation of the Freeway is recognised by Infrastructure Australia as a nationally significant issue.
The South Eastern Freeway Upgrade will improve the incident management, safety, reliability and situational awareness for traffic management operators and road users of the South Eastern Freeway.
The South Eastern Freeway Upgrade is expected to support in excess of 315 full-time equivalent jobs per year over the construction period.
