We are pleased to advise that the intersection upgrade for How Road and Aldinga Beach Road is scheduled for delivery in the 2024-25 financial year.

The planned works involve reconstructing the intersection of How and Aldinga Beach Roads. There are current safety concerns associated with the intersection and capacity issues which will be added to through the nearby developments and increasing student numbers at the Aldinga Payinthi College.

At this location we intend to install a dual lane roundabout, similar to one further west at the Aldinga Beach Road and Rowley Road intersection. A roundabout at this location was found to be the best solution as it will:

• Improve safety by removing the right turn conflicts and reduce speeds through the intersection
• Reduce congestion
• Have sufficient capacity to accommodate increased traffic flows.

The scope of works includes kerb realignment, upgraded lighting, improved geometry for heavy vehicles, central landscaping, traffic calming on approaches and improved pedestrian facilities. Please note that alignment of some footpath and drainage infrastructure may be altered pending land negotiations and final design. To view the draft concept plan click on the link under documents.

We have been working closely with the Fleurieu Connections Alliance (FCA) to ensure project consistency. This has included overlaying designs to ensure that service locations and levels align, there is consistent pavement and seal design, there is network integration from a traffic and road network perspective and that impacts to the public during construction are minimised.

A provision has been included within FCA plans for access to the Renewal SA land for future development.

We're preparing to complete surveying and service relocation works, with major reconstruction commencing in October 2024. Disruption to users during the works should be expected, however we are working closely with FCA to minimise this as much as possible. Traffic management during delivery of the How Road and Aldinga Beach Road roundabout will be critical for the safety of workers and the wider community. We plan to close How Road South for the duration of the project and all traffic travelling south on the northern portion of How Road will be restricted to left turns only. Other traffic management setups will be implemented during the construction phase and will change throughout the project's duration.
