The North-South Motorway (previously known as the South Road Superway) is an elevated motorway in the northern suburbs of the South Australian capital city of Adelaide. It has been constructed over a 4 km section of South Road as part of a long term plan to upgrade this road into a non-stop north-south route. At a cost of A$812 million, the motorway is the biggest single investment in a road project in South Australia’s history. The North-South Motorway is stage two of the North–South Corridor upgrade and delivers a 4.8 kilometre section of freeway grade road, including a 2.8 kilometre elevated roadway, from the Port River Expressway to Regency Road. Along the way, it passes over the Dry Creek-Port Adelaide railway line, Cormack Road, Grand Junction Road and Days Road, with exits at Grand Junction Road and Days Road.
The Australian Government, through the Nation Building Program project, committed $500 million and the South Australian Government $432 million to the North–South Corridor over five years. This funding allocation recognised that South Road is the only continuous link between the northern and southern suburbs as well as the spine connecting Adelaide’s major inter-modal transport hubs – Adelaide Airport, Islington Rail Terminal, Port Adelaide and Outer Harbor.
