and federal governments in May 2018. The announcement stated that the cost would be but did not state an expected completion date. It included an overpass of Regency Road and a pedestrian and cycling connection over the freeway near Pym Street. The motorway portion is three lanes each way, with an additional two lanes each way on the surface road to provide local access to community and businesses. The contract for the design and construction of the motorway segment with three lanes in each direction, plus two lanes each way providing local access to the surrounding community and businesses, was awarded in July 2019 to a consortium of McConnell Dowell, Mott MacDonald and Arup Group. All three members have been involved in other major infrastructure projects in South Australia, notably the Oaklands railway station grade separation. Main construction began in late 2019. The overpass opened in March 2021. Torrens Road to River Torrens In 2013, the State Labor government in partnership with the Federal Labor government announced an upgrade to approximately 4 km of road between Torrens Road and the River Torrens. The upgrade featured a new, lowered road under Grange and Port Roads to provide a non-stop route through the area for north–south traffic, and to reduce delays for east–west travel. A parallel surface road was built along the length of the lowered road, to connect the majority of local roads and arterial roads to South Road. A rail overpass of South Road was built for the Outer Harbor rail line. Construction started in 2015, with the project expected to be completed by the end of 2018. The project scope was extended in December 2015 to include an underpass of Torrens Road, at no additional project cost or time. The lowered motorway opened in September 2018. River Torrens to Darlington Before the motorway is built, traffic congestion in this section is presently mitigated by the Gallipoli Underpass at Anzac Highway and the nearby Glenelg Tram Overpass, both completed in 2009, and the Emerson Overpass over Cross Road and Seaford railway line, completed in 1985. These measures are only considered interim solutions and will be upgraded prior to or concurrently with the rest of this section of road. The increasing frequency of commuter trains has resulted in growing bottlenecks at the Emerson Overpass as queues on the exit ramps to Cross Road can extend into the through lanes on South
