Porter Street, Liverpool Street and Railway Place Intersection Upgrade

We are upgrading the Porter Street, Liverpool Street (Lincoln Highway) and Railway Place intersection in Port Lincoln. The $4.5 million upgrade is jointly funded by the Australian (80%) and South Australian (20%) governments as part of the Heavy Vehicle Safety and Productivity Program.

The proposed concept design includes the installation of traffic signals as the preferred treatment, as it best achieves:

  • increased safety for all users throughout the intersection
  • improved traffic movements throughout the intersection
  • new pedestrian (push button) crossing facilities
  • improved footpaths for better access around the intersection

Proposed concept design

In June 2024, we shared the proposed concept design for the intersection upgrade and sought community insights to help inform the detailed design.

We look forward to sharing the final design with you in early-2025. Construction is expected to commence by mid-2025.

Engagement

Our project team held two community information sessions in Port Lincoln and received 77 online survey responses and submissions. We also connected with businesses surrounding the intersection and other key stakeholders, to share the proposed design and seek their localised insights.

What We Heard

Overall, 70% of survey responses said they supported the proposed design and felt it would improve safety for all users of the intersection. See the full consultation summary.

We’d like to thank everyone who took the time to share your thoughts on the proposed design.
