Federal budget promises $200 million Marion Rd fix

Finance Minister Simon Birmingham said the funding was about “keeping the economic momentum going in South Australia and further improving living standards”.

“South Australia has the fastest growing economy in Australia right now and our Government’s record infrastructure investment continues to help supercharge economic activity right across the state,” Birmingham said.

“The stretch of Marion Road that crosses the tramline and Cross Road is one of the worst bottlenecks in Adelaide. The Morrison Government has heard the concerns of commuters, the RAA and businesses and is committing $200 million to save people time, money and frustrations.

“We look forward to working closely with the state government to ensure the effective design and delivery of this project to separate drivers along xjmtzywMarion Road from the disruption of crossing both Cross Road and the tramline in such close proximity.”
