Up to 4,000 jobs created

$2 Billion total increase in total value of properties along the corridor

110,000 daily vehicle movements removed from Edwardstown and Thebarton into underground tunnels

Preserving sites of cultural importance including; the Thebarton Theatre and Queen of Angels Church

Saving 480 more properties homes and businesses

Disruption halved during construction

Construction of this 10.5 km section of motorway will be the state’s largest infrastructure project to date.

Due to its location, ground conditions, unique heritage assets and social character, the final section of the corridor is the most complex piece of the puzzle to deliver and will include a combination of tunnels and surface-level motorway.

GROUND INVESTIGATIONS PROGRAMIn delivering the most complex section of the North-South Corridor, the Department for Infrastructure and Transport is undertaking detailed ground investigations and analysis to better understand the conditions under the surface.

GROUND INVESTIGATIONSTORRENS TO DARLINGTON

The Torrens to Darlington (T2D) Project is the final 10.5 km section of South Australia’s world-class multi-billion dollar North-South Corridor.

The upgrade will reduce travel time by up to 24 minutes and unlock 78 km of non-stop, traffic-light-free, motorway between Gawler and Old Noarlunga, with links to the port and airport precinct.

KEEPING YOU INFORMED

The T2D Project is being delivered by South Australians for South Australians. Together, we can shape tomorrow’s infrastructure and transport network.

The comprehensive ground investigations program commenced in August 2020 with one drill rig, and progressed to four concurrently operating by November.

HOW WILL THESE WORKS AFFECT ME?

The locations selected for the ground investigation and engineering survey works do not necessarily correspond to areas that will be impacted by the project in the final design.

The majority of tests will be undertaken on the road and council reserve areas. Residents and businesses will be notified in advance if testing is to be undertaken near their property.

If access to a private property is required, the owner will be contacted prior.

The activities will involve a testing crew setting up a small test site at each location, for up to a week, depending on the tests being undertaken. Some sites may be re-visited over a number of days for additional sampling.

Ground investigation activities may involve:

• Local traffic management

• Minor excavation to expose underground services

• Drilling a bore hole to collect ground samples and perform tests

• Drill rigs, light vehicles and personnel on site

• Markings on pavements and roads

The testing crew will monitor noise and disruption throughout the investigations program and will make every effort to minimise the impact to the community. Following completion of each investigation, the site will be reinstated.

Thank you for your patience while we undertake these important activities.
