A $90 million upgrade to a busy Beverley intersection has been revealed, which will save commuters time and make their journey safer.

The upgrade will remove the existing dogleg intersection at Holbrooks Rd and East Ave by realigning the roads, to make it quicker and easier to move across Grange Rd.

A dedicated left-turn lane from Grange Rd onto Holbrooks Rd will also be created.

The project team sought feedback from the community on the concept design in late 2023, with responses incorporated as part of the project's final design.

Much of the feedback received – including from members of the local Allenby Gardens Primary School community – was focused on improving pedestrian safety, particularly through the introduction of a new pedestrian crossing at Grange Rd between Hallett Boulevard and Coombe Rd.

Following this feedback, a new crossing - jointly funded by the Australian and South Australian governments on a 50-50 basis as part of the National Road Safety Program - will be installed at this location prior to the start of major construction of the intersection.

Main works on the realigned intersection are scheduled to commence in early 2025, with the project expected to open to traffic in late 2025. The project is expected to support around 90 jobs during construction.

The upgrade is one of a suite of enhancements to intersections near the River Torrens to Darlington Project that will collectively ensure the Adelaide road network functions efficiently, both during construction of the project and once it is completed.

The upgrade will improve traffic flow for a key parallel route to South Rd during construction of the T2D Project and in the longer term, by creating two new through-lanes in each direction directly linking Holbrooks Rd and East Ave.
