The $810 million Fleurieu Connections project is jointly funded by the Australian and South Australian governments.

There’s a lot happening across the project right now, with work crews working hard to keep things moving as we progress towards completion. Over the coming months, you’ll start to see some major changes taking shape, from new road connections and traffic switches to finishing touches across the alignment.

In the coming weeks, likely mid-September, Perth Street will be temporarily closed to traffic for approximately eight weeks for pavement, asphalt resurfacing, drainage and lighting installation works which are essential steps in completing this section of the project.

During the closure, local residents will still be able to access Renfrew Road via Sellicks Beach Road.

We will provide all residents and motorists advanced notice prior to the closure. Thank you for your patience as we carry out these important upgrades and continue moving towards project completion.

You’ll notice continued activity at the southern end of the project, just south of Sellicks Beach Road, as crews move into the final stages of construction in this area. A rolling program of works is underway and will continue through to project completion, involving both daytime and night-time activity.

To safely complete these works, there will be ongoing changes to traffic conditions, including temporary lane closures, reduced speed limits, and occasional night-time closures. These measures are essential to protect both road users and our crews as we complete this final section of the upgrade.

We’ll continue to keep you informed as conditions change.

As we approach project completion, works are continuing seven days a week, both during the day and when required, at night. This approach helps us make the most of favourable conditions and streamline the overall construction timeframe.

We know this can cause some disruption, and we’ll continue to reduce impacts wherever possible, especially when working close to homes or businesses. We’ll keep you informed about any significant impacts, like noisy works or road closures, so you know what to expect.

Another exciting milestone is on the horizon, with the southbound on- and off-ramps at the new Aldinga Interchange set to open in the coming months. This will provide easier access to and from the area and improve traffic flow across the southern section of the project. We’ll be at Aldinga Central Shopping Centre to talk about this change and to answer your questions, on;

Thursday 14 August 2025 12pm - 3pm

Saturday 16 August 2025 9am - 12pm

Pop down and say hi to the team.

One of the biggest upcoming changes is the temporary shift of traffic back onto the newly constructed southbound carriageway. This allows us to complete final works on the northbound carriageway.

The shift will occur in sections and won’t affect your ability to travel through the area, but things will look a little different. All access will be maintained, with signage in place to guide you through any changes. We’ll keep you informed along the way and appreciate your continued patience and care while driving through the site.

In the coming months, we’ll be completing final asphalting along Aldinga Road and around the Plains Road intersection. To get this done safely and efficiently, a series of temporary weekend closures will be in place, with sections of road closed from Friday night through to Monday morning.

We’ll provide advance notice ahead of each closure, including confirmed dates, detour routes, and access arrangements to help you plan around the works.

View works update

As we get closer to finishing the project, we’re being careful not to overload your inbox or letterbox with too many updates. We’ll still send letters for major traffic changes and speak directly with locals in active work zones, but the easiest way to stay informed is by signing up for text messages. You’ll get quick, relevant updates straight to your phone about traffic changes, night works, weather delays, and key milestones.

Wet and windy weather can affect our ability to carry out certain works, particularly asphalt, line marking and excavation, so staying up to date is important.
