SOUTHERN EXPRESSWAY

Mr TRELOAR (Flinders) (14:52): My question is to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. Why is it that the government is able to use a temporary on/off ramp for the Southern Expressway duplication at Majors Road but will not provide the residents of Sheidow Park and Trott Park with an on/off ramp to access the expressway after construction?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (14:52): I think the question is two-pronged. I thank him for his question and his keen interest in the Southern Expressway, not to do with Flinders.

The Hon. J.M. Rankine interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The Minister for Education is warned a first time.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: The reason the state government is expanding all the bridges—was the question about on/off ramps or bridges?

Mr Treloar: On/off ramps.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: I don't have the answer at hand about why that on/off ramp is being closed, if it is being closed. I will find out and get a detailed answer back to the house.
