Getting Trucks off our Roads
Delivering the Greater Adelaide Freight Bypass in full and on time.
What we are proposing...
The Liberals will deliver the Greater Adelaide Freight Bypass in full and on time.
Labor have failed to commit to the total cost required for the Greater Adelaide Freight Bypass, walking away from this project just months before construction was due to begin— despite years of planning by the former State and Federal Liberal Governments.
This is leaving our regional highways in despair and forcing trucks and heavy vehicles down on to Adelaide metropolitan roads, which are not appropriate freight routes.
We will fully fund our State's share of the Greater Adelaide Freight Bypass, ensuring that heavy vehicles have a safe passage around our city.
This project will deliver major upgrades along the Monarto to Sturt Highway corridor, including:
- Truro township bypass,
- duplication of Swanport Bridge,
- upgrades to the Monarto Interchange and level crossing, and
- critical safety improvements along the freight route.
It will divert up to 60 per cent of heavy freight away from the South Eastern Freeway, cutting congestion and improving safety for local drivers.
This is part of our plan for safer suburbs and stronger communities.
