Lane Restrictions on South Road and Grange Stop Closures Headline Sunday Commute

Ongoing Roadworks on South Road and T2D Project Sites

Commuters navigating the North-South Corridor this Sunday, 15 February 2026, should prepare for continued disruptions as the River Torrens to Darlington (T2D) project ramps up. Major infrastructure works are active between Richmond Road and Anzac Highway, with both day and night shifts scheduled from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm and 8:00 pm to 6:00 am respectively. Motorists can expect intermittent lane closures and speed restrictions throughout the Ashford and Marleston areas as crews focus on utility relocations and preparatory work for the upcoming Southern Tunnel boring operations.

Additionally, site establishment works in West Hindmarsh are contributing to localized congestion. Drivers are advised to maintain vigilance and follow the directions of traffic controllers, particularly near the intersections of South Road with Richmond Road and Gallipoli Underpass, where future night works may require additional detours.

Public Transport Alerts: Stop Closures and Detours

Adelaide Metro has several active service disruptions that may affect Sunday travel plans. Most notably, the stop closures at the intersection of Trimmer Parade and Frederick Road in Grange are scheduled to remain in effect through to the end of today. Passengers utilizing routes 110, 287, and 372 should use alternative stops as indicated by local signage.

• Everard Avenue: A detour remains in place for routes 241 and 241A due to ongoing works. This disruption started earlier this month and is expected to conclude on Monday, 16 February.
• Panalatinga Road: Long-term detours continue to affect routes 721, 721X, T721, and T722. Commuters in the southern suburbs should allow for extra travel time.
• South Road and Anzac Highway: Bus stop closures near this major junction are active until 20 February, primarily impacting route 248.

Commuter Reminders and Looking Ahead

Travelers using the Adelaide Railway Station will notice the final phases of installation for new smart gates. These upgrades are part of the transition to a fully digital payment system. In line with this, the Department for Infrastructure and Transport reminds all commuters that paper MetroTickets will be officially retired on Friday, 20 February 2026. Residents are encouraged to shift to Tap-and-Pay or the Buy & Go app before the upcoming Adelaide Fringe season begins next weekend.

With the 2026 Adelaide Fringe and major sporting events like the Women’s T20 International and LIV Golf scheduled for the coming weeks, traffic volumes are expected to increase significantly. Planning routes in advance and using real-time GPS tracking is highly recommended for those traveling through the CBD and eastern parklands.
