Roads of Strategic Importance, Renmark to Gawler

In reply to Mr TARZIA (Hartley) ((17 June 2022).). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. G.G. BROCK (Stuart—Minister for Local Government, Minister for Regional Roads, Minister for Veterans Affairs): I have been advised:

The Australian and South Australian governments have committed $87.5 million on an 80:20 basis, for upgrades to the Sturt Highway between Renmark and Gawler. Upgrades include:

Junction improvements at Sturt Highway and Old Sturt Highway on the western end near Barmera and the eastern end near Monash;

Four new overtaking lanes and overtaking lane extensions between Annadale and Barmera;

Pavement renewal between Nuriootpa and Truro, and between Barmera and Monash;

Safety barrier upgrades at targeted locations between Truro and Renmark; and

Five new and upgraded rest areas between Shea-Oak Log and Kingston on Murray for improved fatigue management.

The above works on Sturt Highway commenced in 2020 and are expected to be completed by mid-2024.
