Sadly in 50 years that elevated roadway will be falling apart. There are a few spots in the US where they were built and they are all being torn down because the maintenance costs skyrocket after a certain age and they are higher to rebuild.
It works well, and now with the Torrens to Torrens taking shape, time to look at the bottleneck between Regency Rd and Torrens Rd. All the new bits can only move as fast as the slowest link.
I drove along it today. It is beautifully designed, very visually attractive and excellent for driving. It is a pity they are going to put hidden speed-cameras along it. LOL
It is really nice to drive on..but the fact that traffic lights turning from days rd to south rd takes 5 mins to change even after this project makes me angry.
It's going to be good when u tear down the bridges on the port expressway to. Make the expressway wider, put in the amount of lanes it should have, ( minimum 3) then raise the speed limit to a minimum of 100. Why doesn't any government plan roads for the future. If a thousand cars travel on a road a day and u want to cater for it, then make to withstand 3 thousand cars.
Sure is nice to drive on but I can't help thinking it was built about 5 klms too far North, there wasn't a problem with traffic at this point after the rush 30 minute period morning and night. The real waste with this project is that while the tooling and formwork were available they didn't move straight onto building a single module wide O'bahn raised road from Hackney over the gardens into the city, they had the tooling, and manpower there on the spot.
I think this could have been planned much better. It should have turned north-east after going over grand junction road, and going diagonally north-east until it reaches port wakefield road. for effectively, a nice smooth transition onto the main route, so we don't have to deal with the salisbury highway bullshit. It would be much more direct. It's pretty much a great big T junction at this point, that could have been made much simpler. Sure, it would take out a few houses that are in the way, but it'd be worth it in the long run. And it's not like they aren't demolishing houses for south road anyway.
@@trenchy1990 At the time I wrote this, I was not aware of the northern connector. Was the connector planned at the same time as this motorway, or is that just a nice coincidence? Back when this was getting built, I also heard others say it's a road to nowhere.
@@nathanielpillar8012 yeah it was mentioned quite a bit. They were even going to realign the railway line for freight. I think Patrick Conlon was transport minister at the time.
I think we need a few of your engineers in Ireland - they consider cycle tracks as infrastructure and are reducing some main roads in Dublin to 6.0m - help before they turn us into a giant folk park!!!
Hard to make sense of what was being shown. Yes it’s the construction of an elevated roadway, what we call a freeway in California. But a time lapse? No it isn’t. But on another note: building elevated roadways of any sort has already proven to be a poor investment. They don’t reduce traffic congestion and they tend to disrupt existing communities. They may shorten some trips but most journeys will be little improved. Had the same money been invested in public mass transit, particularly rail, the return on investment would have been more substantial. Especially if the route is located in coordination with progressive land use policy. Freeways are already considered dinosaurs. And the future of privately owned fossil fuel burning mode of transport is already on the chopping block. Too bad that South Australia and Adelaide in particular hasn’t been sufficiently proactive in investing more in a robust rail network. I lived in Adelaide while attending university (hi to all my bros at Brougham College!) so I’m somewhat familiar with the lay of the land. Adelaide is a beautiful and livable city, but it risks losing its appeal if it doesn’t plan for a future that will preserve what’s valuable and encourage smart growth for the future. More freeways isn’t the way to go. Learn from the myriad examples here in California. We’re even tearing them down, not enough and not without opposition but there is a growing awareness that it’s a poor use of public money and are missed opportunities for better solutions for livable communities that have resilience in the face of challenges from climate change.
Someone somewhere doesn't understand what a time lapse is.
Tuppoo94 it’s probably a combination of two
Tuppoo94 hard to keep a drone over the same spot for the time interval .lol
@@edwardmounsey9208 Then they shouldn't call it a time lapse lol
Well tell this 1:04
@@edwardmounsey9208 no.
That’s why they invented fixed cameras decades ago. 🤦♀️

This is a slideshow not a time-lapse
now we just need to fix from daws road through to west thebarton road . . . . .

Well done South Australia, and their government. It is a worthy project and a great achievement.
Set of photos with music is not a timelapse.
I agree is not a time lapse there just photos
all you do is locket tiktok to much
Thanks

Well done you Ausies/young uns, from the motherland. Keep safe all.
What is it about Sth Aust that their planning and building scheme of roads is so inadequate and small town. Even given the mining royalties you get.

In Australia, Timelapse = Slideshow
even road bridge jettying
1:24 Installing bridge sections with active traffic underneath? 😯
You build tunnels with active roads overhead……

Does it change direction at midday?
They'll introduce that feature down the track.
Lol. Not yet.. give it time

Too much tooling around?
I don't live in Adelaide. Has it made a difference?
Yes, when its not peak hour, it really does make the trip feel shorter especially from brickworks even though that section is supposed to be 80km/h,
Why is the speed limit 90? Why not 100 or 110? Are our brand new highways not good enough for decent speeds?
David Leyonhjelm has been campaigning for speed limits to be increased.
just incase the concrete hasn't set ....ha ha

Here is a picture of how it should have been: imgur.com/YbvOjyO
That's why they're building a Northern Connector. Itll link this with the Northern Expressway... and traffic light free.
