Construcciones Yamaro: Contractor chosen for Majors Road Interchange Project

By

ACCIONA has been selected as the successful tenderer to design and construct the $120 million Majors Road Interchange Project in South Australia.

Jointly funded by the Australian and South Australian Governments, each committing $60 million, the project involves the construction of new on/off-ramps for the Southern Expressway at Majors Road.

Federal Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government Catherine King said the Australian Government is jointly funding the Majors Road Interchange Project to improve traffic flow and road safety.

“This project will provide commuters in Adelaide’s southern suburbs with better access to the Southern Expressway, while providing all commuters improved access to Glenthorne National Park – Ityamaiitpinna Yarta, the Sam Willoughby International BMX Facility and the Southern Soccer Facility from the Southern Expressway,” said Minister King.

Friends of Glenthorne, an Adelaide-based volunteer environmental group, will also have a new home to support its conservation and re-vegetation activities.

The Majors Road Interchange Project team has worked closely with the Friends of Glenthorne to improve environmental outcomes for Glenthorne National Park – Ityamaiitpinna Yarta both during and after the construction of the interchange.

As a result of this collaboration, a new plant nursery and garden area will be funded and built. The nursery will assist with the project’s vegetation offset requirements and continue to support the Friends of Glenthorne’s conservation and re-vegetation activities into the future.

South Australia Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Tom Koutsantonis said that while the current project design of the Majors Road Interchange ensures no impact to significant vegetation and minimal impact to the Glenthorne National Park – Ityamaiitpinna Yarta, the state is working to give back to the environment.

“The Friends of Glenthorne do fantastic volunteer work to protect Glenthorne National Park – Ityamaiitpinna Yarta, and this plant nursery will empower them to do more great work, while helping the project to offset its environmental impacts,” said Minister Koutsantonis.

“This is a great example of how major infrastructure projects can take a collaborative approach to improve outcomes for local communities and the environment.

“I’d also like to congratulate ACCIONA Construction Australia for being awarded the contract to design and construct the Majors Road Interchange and look forward to major construction commencing later this year.”

The nursery will be located in the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) SA’s Majors Road premises, adjacent the project site facilities, with construction expected to be completed by early 2024.

The nursery will be operated and maintained by Friends of Glenthorne, in collaboration with RDA SA.

Federal Member for Kingston Amanda Rishworth said the Majors Road Interchange Project will benefit drivers of the more than 13,000 vehicles who use Majors Road each day, a number that is expected to grow with the easier access to sports facilities and Glenthorne National Park – Ityamaiitpinna Yarta.

“The project will also benefit the 74,000 vehicles using the Southern Expressway between Darlington and the Reynella Interchange each day,” she said.

“The needs of the environment were placed front and centre in this project with increased support for the Friends of Glenthorne’s conservation and re-vegetation activities, which I hope will attract more people in the local community to get outside and enjoy the benefits of volunteering.”

Major construction on the Majors Road Interchange Project is expected to begin in the last quarter of 2023 and final project completion is expected at the end of 2025.

The project is expected to support approximately 245 full-time-equivalent jobs per year over the construction period.
