yeah, still listed as open "early march" on the website, which to me means by the tenth (after that is middle of march) but id assume there is still wiggle room in the estimation.
they were up to fitting all the signs when i came past it on sunday lunchtime though, so it cant be too far away, thats usually the last thing that gets done.
Where they have temporarily closed the part where you join the Northern Expressway from Port Wakefield Road had a fair bit of work to do still on Saturday when I went past, neither side had bitumen laid at that point of time.
You'll be able to travel from Regency Road to Renmark without seeing a traffic light.
i think you will find that the part where you join the expressway from port wakefield road is PERMANENTLY closed.... they must be expecting any traffic to join the expressway through one of the other onramps. bolivar rd, waterloo corner road, or further back at south road. will be a bit of a pain i would have thought for any trucks coming down from gepps cross, having to zig and zag to get onto it. https://dpti.sa.gov.au/__data/assets/pd ... ..docx.pdf
id assume that is something to do with there not being room for a loop from port wakefield rd onto the correct side of the new section without taking out the start line at adelaide international raceway. they wouldnt have had the budget to compensate the owner for that "bit" of land, as it would have forced the closure of the whole thing (at a guess) so they just eliminated it and people will have to get on further back.
the off ramp heading south onto port wakefield rd was apparently resurfaced last night, so hopefully it is nearly all done.
That bit is permanent but there will still be access to it, I worded it wrong.
