Project description

The road requires pavement rehabilitation due to severe pavement and seal failure, worsened by increasing traffic loading. Issues such as shape loss, rutting, crazing, and cracking affect the carriageway, bike lanes, and pedestrian crossings, posing risks for all users. As a vital transport route and community destination, it accommodates vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians, serving as the City of Playford’s main public transport link with two bus interchanges and a train station. The deterioration is largely attributed to heavy bus traffic and frequent movements.

The proposed work involves rehabilitating 470 metres (11,369 m²) of Elizabeth Way with a deep lift asphalt pavement, covering four traffic lanes. The existing asphalt depth, ranging from 90 mm to 180 mm, will be upgraded to a uniform 205 mm to support heavy vehicle movements, particularly buses servicing the Elizabeth Railway and City Centre interchanges. Rehabilitation will be carried out shift by shift to maintain road trafficability, including reinstating line markings. This timely intervention is crucial for Elizabeth Way, a strategic route handling approximately 20,000 vehicles per day, enhancing access to major public transport hubs and the Elizabeth CBD while improving sustainable transport options and connectivity. Balance of project costs being covered by City of Playford.

Total cost of proposed project is $1,260,000
