In reply to Mr TEAGUE (Heysen) (31 October 2023).

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Energy and Mining): The Department for Infrastructure and Transport advises vegetation management works along River Road commenced on 14 September 2023, with the majority of these works completed by the end of October 2023. Some remaining vegetation works on River Road were completed 20 November 2023.

On 22 September 2023, shoulder sealing works on River Road commenced with the majority completed by 30 October 2023 (around 95 per cent). Remaining finishing works are expected to be completed in January 2024, weather permitting.

When planning the timing of road works, a number of factors are taken into consideration to minimise the impact to road users, surrounding residents, and to enable the works to be undertaken safely and efficiently.

Asphalt works on projects, particularly at junctions and intersections, are generally undertaken at night, including line marking.

The majority of the works on River Road were undertaken as day works, with night works undertaken on three occasions, to date (as at early December 2023).

On Sunday, 22 October, and Monday, 23 October 2023, asphalting works were undertaken at night at the junction of River Road and Mount Barker Road. On Sunday, 29 October 2023, night works were also undertaken to apply line marking to River Road.
