Onkaparinga Valley Road, Nairne Road and Junction Road Intersection Upgrade

Latest News

In preparation for construction works commencing mid 2025, we are undertaking early works, including site investigations, surveys and services relocations at the intersection of Onkaparinga Valley Road, Junction Road and Nairne Road in Balhannah. For more information please view the latest work notice.

Project Background

We are delivering the Adelaide Hills Productivity and Road Safety (PRS) Package to upgrade key strategic arterial roads in the region. The road improvements will support economic growth, improve road safety and increase fire resilience. The $150 million initiative is jointly funded by the Australian Government (80%) and South Australian Government (20%) over five years.

Onkaparinga Valley Road has been identified as a key arterial road in the Adelaide Hills that would benefit from safety upgrades. Since May 2023, key activities to improve road safety have included increasing skid resistance, improving and widening sealed shoulders, as well as widening side roads.

As part of this road upgrade, a single-lane roundabout at the Onkaparinga Valley Road, Nairne Road, and Junction Road intersection has been identified as the best outcome for improving safety at this location.

The construction of a roundabout at the intersection of Onkaparinga Valley Road, Nairne Road, and Junction Road intersection was selected as the preferred treatment, as it best achieves:

  • increased safety for all users throughout the intersection
  • improved traffic movements throughout the intersection
  • new and upgraded pedestrian crossing facilities
  • improved footpaths for better access around the interaction
