Gerald Roberts Road has an average of 234 vpd in 2020 with approximately 13% heavy vehicles, including up to PBS Level 2B vehicles (30m Road Train) and Over-Dimensional Vehicles.
Currently, the Southern Barossa region is only accessible for traffic coming from Adelaide via either Sturt Highway or Barossa Valley Way, including a large number of heavy vehicles.
The Sturt Highway route is through the northern part of the Barossa Township, then access to either Nuriootpa or Tanunda via Gomersal Road. This route is considered as convoluted
with significantly extra travel distance and time, approximately 19km. The Barossa Valley Way route is through the local road network of Town of Gawler, which is often congested due to limited traffic capacity and relatively high traffic volumes with mixed local/tourist/heavy vehicle, which leads to relatively high number of road crashes along this route. Both existing routes have caused significant adverse impact on accessibility and road safety in the region, as well as restricting freight productivity and economic development in the surrounding area. With the recent upgrade of Lyndoch Road and Turretfield Road in the regional transport network, the proposed Gerald Roberts Road upgrade will provide a safer and more direct connection into the heart of the Southern Barossa via Seppeltsfield Road and Gomersal Road. As a result, it would significantly improve road safety, network connectivity and reduce travel time for all road users.Existing Gerald Roberts Road has a nominal width of 7.0 metres, which consists of a 3.0 metres wide unsealed carriageway plus 0.5 metres unsealed shoulder in each direction.
The upgrade will widen the overall road formation width of Gerald Roberts Road to 9.6 metres, which includes a 3.3 metre sealed carriageway lane, and a 1.0 metre sealed shoulder and 0.5 metres unsealed shoulder in each direction. Road pavements will be strengthened with stabilisation of 150mm existing pavement and construction of an additional 150mm compacted rubble overlay to accommodate heavy vehicles up to PBS Level 2B (30m Road Train) with a minimum of 2 coats of spray seal wearing course. Some segments of Gerald Roberts Road where the site condition could be challenging for the proposed road widening, such as embankment cuttings or steep slopes, major utility services, native and/or significant vegetation. In those instances, the roadside hazards will
be mitigated through various means most appropriate to the conditions, which may include the installation of safety barriers, vegetation removal and signage. As part of the upgrade, selected intersections will be also improved by sealing up to 20m on the side road approaches to Gerald Roberts Road, as well as realignment of some tight curves for better sightlines when required. This ensures safe turning movements for large vehicles and reduce future maintenance requirement. Furthermore, the proposed sealing of Gerald Roberts Road would significantly reduce
the dust/air pollution, and vibration currently experienced by residents, and reduce the requirements for regular maintenance grading by the Council in the future.Total cost of proposed project is $1,573,000
Mudla Wirra Road is currently carrying an average of 120 vpd in 2021 with approximately 12% heavy vehicles, including PBS Level 3A vehicles (36.5m A-Doubles) and Over-Dimensional Vehicles.
Mudla Wirra Road is classified as a local freight and commuter traffic route. Under the Legatus Group 2030 Regional Transport Plan (published in 2017), Mudla Wirra Road is a Regionally Significant Freight Route. The current road suffers from poor pavement condition due to heavy vehicle movements and significant rutting issue on this road section, which leads to the negative impact on accessibility and safety of local community and businesses. The upgrade will also provide a reliable and direct road connection into the heart of the fastgrowing regions such as Roseworhy, Mallala and Gawler. As a result, it would significantlyreduce travel time for local commuter and freight industries in this area under all weather conditions.The proposed road upgrade of Mudla Wirra Road includes a full pavement reconstruction and spray sealed road surface.
This section of Mudla Wirra Road is currently an unsealed compacted rubble road with a nominal width of 7.0 metres, including a 3.0 metres wide carriageway plus 0.5 metres
unsealed shoulder on each side. The upgrade will widen the overall road formation width of Mulda Wirra Road to 9.6 metres, includes a 3.3 metre sealed carriageway lane, 1.0 metre sealed shoulder and 0.5 metres unsealed shoulder in each direction.The new pavement will include a typical 300mm compacted rubble overlay with a minimum of 2 coats of spray seal wearing course, to accommodate heavy vehicles up to PBS Level 3A (36.5m A Double).Total cost of proposed project is $1,600,000
River Terrace is classified as a suburban road under the Brisbane City Plan 2014 and provides a connection from Brisbane's CBD to Woolloongabba and Pacific Highway carrying approximately 24,000 vehicles a day. River Terrace also provides access to the Kangaroo Point Cliffs a major tourist and recreational area. There is limited pedestrian crossing points on River Terrace, along with the high volume of traffic makes it difficult for pedestrians to find a break in traffic to cross the road safely to access the Kangaroo Point cliffs public space and recreational areas. Additionally, there is a bus stop for tourist coaches on the eastern side of River Terrace which requires tourist to cross River Terrace.This project will install a signalised pedestrian crossing to improve safety and connectivity for pedestrians. The works include civil works, installing traffic lights and associated stormwater drainage works and footpath improvements.Total cost of proposed project is $801,333
The Monier Road and Bellwood Street intersection in Seventeen Mile Rocks is currently a priority-controlled four-way intersection with stop signs on Bellwood Street. The intersection accommodates approximately 11,500 vehicles, 76 buses, 50 cyclists and 70 pedestrians per day with approximately 5% been heavy vehicles. The intersection has been identified as a location requiring safety and traffic improvements. A total of seven causality crashes were recorded between July 2014 and June 2019 that resulted in six hospitalisations and one requiring medical treatment. All incidents resulted in multi-vehicle crashes involving turning vehicles at the intersection. The project objective is to improve safety and overall intersection operation for motorist, cyclists and pedestrians, by installing traffic lights and dedicated right turn lanes and upgrading pedestrian and cycle facilities at the intersection.Installing traffic signals with controlled pedestrian crossing facilities, providing two right-turn pockets on Bellwood Street, north and southbound, extending the left-turn slip lane on Monier Road eastbound, provide a left-turn slip lane on Monier Road westbound, improve the road geometry to allow safe movements for B-double vehicles and installing new traffic islands and medians to delineate traffic movements on Monier Road.Total cost of proposed project is $4,573,501
Ellison and Kirby Roads are classified as district roads under the Brisbane City Plan 2014. Kirby Road provides access to residential areas of Aspley as well as providing an alternative route to Gympie Road which is classified as an Arterial road. The intersection is priority controlled with 'Stop' signage on Kirby Road. The Ellison Road and Kirby Road intersection carries approximately 16,000 vehicles per day. Significant queuing is occurring due to continuous traffic and high traffic volumes on Ellison Road in peak periods, preventing vehicles undertaking turning movements in and out of Kirby Road. Numerous safety concerns with turning movements into Ellison Road and Kirby Road. The blind crest between Kirby Road and Webster Road does not allow drivers to see vehicles coming from Webster Road until they have reached the crest. Sight distances from Ellison Road(east) are also poor due to parked vehicles and continuous traffic coming from Ellison Road.The project objective is to improve safety and overall intersection operation for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians, by installing traffic lights at the intersection. Install traffic signals at the intersection of Ellison and Kirby Road with controlled signalised pedestrian facilities, provide dedicated turning lanes out of Kirby Road into Ellison Road and extending the right turn pocket from Ellison Road into Kirby Road.Total cost of proposed project is $3,881,195
