Project construction

Works have been scheduled to construct the duplication of Main South Road between Aldinga and Sellicks Hill as part of Stage 2 of the Main South Road Duplication project. Most of the work will occur 'off-line', meaning it will take place behind solid barriers, allowing traffic to flow during the majority of the construction period.

At times, speed and lane restrictions will apply for safety reasons. Where possible, works will be scheduled to minimise impacts on peak hour and holiday travel. Please plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and exercise caution when workers are on-site. It is important to observe speed limits and follow the instructions of traffic controllers when travelling through the area.

Detours may be necessary for certain sections, including local roads, to accommodate the construction activities. Pedestrians and cyclists are advised to take care when travelling through the area. We will ensure appropriate signage is in place to guide alternative routes and detours where needed.

Advance notice of works and traffic impacts will be provided to commuters and nearby residents via Variable Message Signs, work notifications, and emails to those registered for project updates. Every effort will be made to minimise impacts on the community during works.

Sustainable road design

A key focus of the project is sustainable road construction. Designers and engineers are investigating opportunities to improve the project’s sustainability outcomes. Key areas that the project team are currently working on include:

- urban design;
- reductions of materials, energy and water use;
- waste minimisation;
- minimising site environmental impacts during construction from noise, dust and vibration; and
- noise mitigation for the operational phase of the project.
