Hindmarsh junction upgrade open to traffic

Friday, 20 December 2024

Easier and safer access to the Hindmarsh sporting, entertainment and recreational precinct has been delivered, with the completion of the upgraded Manton Street and Adam Street junction.

The $6.2 million junction upgrade includes the installation of a second city-bound left turn lane from Manton Street into Adam Street.

New variable speed limit signs along Manton Street have also been installed to improve pedestrian safety during major events.

Other design features include new realigned pedestrian crossings and a cyclist indented hook turn facility to cater for right-turning cyclists from Manton Street onto Adam Street.

In the five years between 2019 and 2023, there were 14 reported crashes, including eight rear-end crashes.

The installation of a second left turn lane from Manton Street into Adam Street will provide additional capacity for city-bound traffic.

The project has been delivered by South Australian company Bardavcol and supported approximately 30 jobs during construction.

This upgrade is one of a suite of enhancements to intersections near the River Torrens to Darlington Project, that will collectively ensure the Adelaide road network functions efficiently, both during construction of the project and once it is completed.
