Work has begun on Stage 2 of South Australia’s Main South Road Duplication (MSRD2) Project, which will see the duplication of 6km of the Main South Road between Aldinga Beach Road and Sellicks Beach, south of Adelaide.
The project will be run by the Fleurieu Connections Alliance, which made up of CIMIC Group’s CPB Contractors, Aurecon and GHD with sub-partners McMahon Services Australia and Tonkin, in association with the Department for Infrastructure and Transport.
The project will include:
- The realignment of Aldinga Beach Road intersection and Sellicks Beach Road intersection.
- An underpass at the intersection of Main South Road with the newly re-aligned Aldinga Road and Aldinga Beach Road.
- Two U-turns to facilitate local access in addition to the Aldinga interchange.
- Key intersection upgrades at Hart and Colville Roads, Norman and Rogers Roads, and Hahn and Cox Roads;
- Installation of wide centre medians, wire rope safety barriers to separate northbound and southbound traffic; and
- A Shared Use Path (SUP) along the western side of Main South Road.
The project is expected to be completed in 2026.
CPB Contractors managing director Jason Spears said the company would be drawing on its 90-plus years’ experience delivering complex road infrastructure as well as local relationships and knowledge working on the Main South Road and Victor Harbor Road duplication project.
“Together with the Department of Infrastructure and Transport and our Alliance partners, we look forward to continuing to engage with local people, suppliers and businesses to ensure we maximise economic, employment and social opportunities for the community,” he said.
