Brighton Road Intersection Upgrades

The Australian and South Australian governments have committed $30 million (50:50) to Brighton Road Intersection Improvements.

Brighton Road/Ocean Boulevard and Scholefield Road junction

We will be installing new traffic signals at the junction of Brighton Road/Ocean Boulevard and Scholefield Road to improve safety for vehicles accessing the arterial road network as well as pedestrians and cyclists.

To support housing development in the area, as well as residents already living in Seacliff, Kingston Park and Marino, there is a need for safer access to the arterial road network.

We identified the need for upgrades and considered several factors, including:

  • Future traffic volumes of the area following the completion of the Villawood Seacliff Development
  • Traffic redistribution following the completion of the Majors Road Interchange
  • Feasibility and impact of safer southbound right turn access onto Brighton Road and Ocean Boulevard for residents
  • Insights from local community and key stakeholders.

Ocean Boulevard carries around 30,000 vehicles a day and Scholefield Road carries around 4,000 vehicles a day. The new traffic signals will maintain a consistent access route for the Seacliff community, while improving pedestrian and cyclist access and safety through the creation of a new signalised crossing.

Next Steps

Development of the detailed concept design for Brighton Road/Ocean Boulevard and Scholefield Road is planned to commence in late 2025, with construction to commence in approximately mid-2026. Completion is expected in early 2027.

We look forward to connecting with the community in the coming months to share more information share more information and seek feedback to finalise the detailed design. To stay up to date please register to receive project updates via the project website.

Brighton Road and Edwards Street junction

We completed major works in August 2024 for the Brighton Road and Edwards Street junction at South Brighton in Adelaide’s southwest, improving road safety and public transport efficiency.

The project included the installation of traffic lights, a signalised pedestrian and a cyclist crossing to improve accessibility and enhance safety for everyone using the road.

As well as improving pedestrian and cyclist safety, the upgrades will ease congestion through this busy intersection as well as the surrounding area, reducing frustration for local residents and businesses.
