The Northern Connector (proposed route M20) is a 15 kilometre long expressway under construction in Adelaide, South Australia. It will connect the North-South Motorway (National Highway M2) at Wingfield to the Northern Expressway (M20) (also known as the Max Fatchen Expressway) as part of an ongoing plan to develop a continuous freeway grade road between Old Noarlunga and Nuriootpa known as the North–South Corridor. The road will be built with three lanes in each direction and provide a faster, safer and less congested route over the section of the North-South Corridor between South Road and the Northern Expressway.
This involves the construction of a complex interchange at the Port River Expressway / North-South Motorway intersection. The original plan also included a major diversion in the main ARTC interstate rail line, which would use the same corridor between Dry Creek, South Australia and Taylors Road at Waterloo Corner, however this is not being built with the road.
In early 2008, the South Australian Government announced plans for the Northern Connector, an eight lane connector roadway, linking the Northern Expressway and South Road, with three intermediate interchanges. This would involve the construction of a four-way cloverstack interchange at the Port River Expressway / South Road intersection. The project would also include a major diversion in the main ARTC interstate rail line, which would run down the middle of the new connector freeway between Dry Creek, South Australia and Taylors Road at Waterloo Corner.
