Bus Stop Closures and South Road Tunnelling Works Impact Tuesday Commute

Adelaide Traffic and Transit Update: Tuesday, 10 February 2026

Good morning, Adelaide. Commuters are advised to prepare for several transit disruptions and ongoing infrastructure works across the metropolitan area today, Tuesday, 10 February 2026. Significant bus detours in the CBD and major construction activity along the South Road corridor are expected to impact travel times during the morning and afternoon peaks.

Public Transport Detours and Stop Closures

Adelaide Metro has several service alerts active for today. Most notably, a series of central bus stop closures are scheduled to conclude today, while new localized detours begin in the suburbs:

• CBD Impacts: Today is the final scheduled day for major detours and stop closures on King William Street and Currie Street (Stop E3). These closures affect nearly two dozen routes, including the 172, 178, 200, 222, 721, and G10. Commuters should check their specific stop locations as services are expected to return to normal operations tomorrow.
• Torrensville: Stop 6 Ashley Street is closed for today only, Tuesday, 10 February. Passengers using routes 286, 286A, 287, 288, and 288S should use alternative nearby stops.
• Mawson Lakes: Detours remain in place on Elder Drive today. Route 225 passengers should plan for minor delays and missed stops in this precinct.
• South Road Services: Stop 7 South Road (East side) remains closed through the end of today, affecting route 721. Additionally, ongoing works at the intersection of South Road and Anzac Highway continue to impact route 248.
• Pulteney Street: Night works between 7:00 PM and early morning are affecting stops B1 and B2, impacting routes H30, W90, 167, and 168.

Major Roadworks and Infrastructure Projects

Motorists should exercise caution and allow extra time when travelling through major construction zones, particularly in the Southern Precinct:

• T2D Project (Clovelly Park): Major construction is ramping up at the Southern Precinct of the Torrens to Darlington project. Work is concentrated between Tonsley Boulevard and Norrie Avenue, where crews are constructing 35-metre-deep diaphragm walls. While South Road remains open, lane restrictions and lower speed limits are in place to ensure worker safety.
• Main North Road: Stop 34 at Pooraka is closed as part of ongoing infrastructure improvements. This affects routes 228, 228F, and 228X, with disruptions expected to continue throughout the month.
• Marion Road: Intersection upgrades at the junction of Marion Road and Sir Donald Bradman Drive are ongoing, leading to periodic lane closures and changed traffic conditions.

For those heading to the Fleurieu Peninsula, duplication works on Main South Road between Aldinga and Sellicks Beach are nearing completion, but motorists should still anticipate localized traffic management. As always, stay alert for mobile speed camera operations, which are active today in metropolitan areas including Magill, Payneham, and Newton.
