Brian Martin has seen many changes in transport--and bridges--in almost 70 years living in his home on the Fleurieu Peninsula. The local, now in his late 80s, has watched the new four-lane bridge over Pedler Creek on Main South Road at Seaford Heights being gradually constructed over the past year. Read his story.
With major roadworks taking place in the Fleurieu Peninsula, there’s an increase in activity in the area, including more trucks on the roads. Find out more about how to safely share the road with our trucks.
When a new road opens, speed limits are reduced for a period of time. Read more about why this occurs.
The new Agricultural Machinery Underpass, which will run under Main South Road in Aldinga, has had a major breakthrough.
Businesses in the Main South Road and Victor Harbor Road project footprint were recently invited to a strategic marketing workshop hosted by the Fleurieu Connections Alliance.

The first rest node on the Shared Use Path on the Main South Road Duplication project (Stage 1) has been constructed in recent weeks.
The rest node provides a place for cyclists and walkers to stop and rest during their journeys and contemplate the Aboriginal—specifically Kaurna—history of the area.
Kaurna artwork highlighting the rich history of fishing by First Nations people has been installed on the Coast to Vines underpass. The underpass travels under Main South Road and is part of the Coast to Vines Rail Trail.
The stories and cultural knowledge of the original inhabitants of the Fleurieu Peninsula—including a rich history of fishing—will soon come to life along the Main South Road Duplication project.

The remainder of the new traffic structure, including an east/west signalised intersection underneath, will open in late 2023.
The new four-lane Pedler Creek Bridge on Main South Road opened to traffic in October, replacing the old two-lane bridge.
