Check out these five major projects and the investments being made to ensure new and better infrastructure continues to be built for the benefit of all South Australians.
Torrens to Darlington project
Estimated $15.4 billion l Due for completion in 2031
The Torrens to Darlington (T2D) project is the final 10.5km section of the North-South Corridor – one Adelaide’s most important transport routes. Once complete, the 78km non-stop motorway will run from Gawler to Old Noarlunga.
As part of the T2D project, motorists will bypass 21 sets of traffic lights between the River Torrens and Darlington as they travel through two separate tunnels, connected by an open motorway. This will save up to 40 minutes in peak-hour traffic.
The tunnels, with three lanes in each direction, will be created between Richmond and Torrensville, and Clovelly Park and Glandore.
Main construction on the project, being jointly funded by the state and federal governments, is expected to start in 2025 and be finished in 2031.

New Adelaide Aquatic Centre
$135 million l Due for completion summer of 2025-26
Work has begun on the construction of the new state-of-the-art Adelaide Aquatic Centre, in North Adelaide’s Park 2.
Excavators have started removing soil in preparation for the new complex, and once the earthworks are completed work will begin on installing more than 700 piles to support the building and aquatic structure. 
More than 1500 jobs will be created over the life of the project.
The new centre – which will be powered by 100 per cent renewable energy – will feature indoor and outdoor pool areas, water slides, splash zones and lawned spaces. Check out the designs here.
It will open in the summer of 2025-26, with the existing aquatic centre to close on 1 August 2024.

Women’s and Children’s Hospital
Estimated $3.2 billion l Due for completion in 2027
A new Women’s and Children’s Hospital will be located on the existing site of the South Australian Police Barracks, in close proximity to the Royal Adelaide Hospital and the Adelaide BioMed City.
The new hospital will be 25 per cent bigger than the current Women’s and Children’s Hospital and will provide holistic, world-class healthcare and facilities for babies, children, young people, women and their families.
Other key features include an additional 56 overnight beds, with capacity for a further 20 beds, larger emergency department with 43 treatment spaces and critical care services all being located on the one floor.
Early works on the project commenced in December 2023.

Port Dock Railway Line
$51 million l Due for completion late 2024
In a bid to revive the Port and improve access for local residents and visitors, a 1km rail spur line - which was decommissioned in 1981 - will be re-established in the heart of Port Adelaide. 
The $51 million Port Dock Railway Line project will also include a new train station and plaza to be built at Baker St, and bus interchange along the existing Lipson St carpark, with landscaping installed around the station, plaza and along the rail corridor.
Construction is expected to support 100 full-time equivalent jobs and is expected to be completed in late 2024.

Majors Road Interchange
Estimated $120 million l Due for completion in 2025
New on\off ramps are being created for the Southern Expressway at Majors Rd, which provides a key connection between Londale and Main South roads.
Once complete, the Majors Road Interchange Project will give southern suburbs commuters further access to the South Expressway and provide South Australians with improved access to Glenthorne National Park.
The $120 million project is being jointly funded by the Australian and South Australian governments.
