00:00A new stage for a long-running project as major works ramp up on the Torrens to Darlington.
00:08This is the biggest infrastructure project in Australia right now.
00:12Boring the underground tunnels is the focus of this phase, but that won't happen until next year.
00:18The machines to do that have to be built first.
00:21The machines are 90 metres long and they're about five storeys high and they all come together like a Lego system almost.
00:30With a $15 billion price tag, the Premier says it's on track to open by 2031.
00:36Until then, South Road commuters will continue to face the challenge of roadworks.
00:42Of course there's going to be a degree of disruption, but we want to get things done.
00:46And we're not going to back away from making tough decisions that are required to set the state up for the long term.
00:52The SA Freight Council agrees and says it's an investment that will pay dividends.
00:57Businesses thrive because of their infrastructure, the ease of access, the parking.
01:02Something that makes it easy for their suppliers and their customers to get to.
01:06And this will actually provide that for those customers.
01:09More than 50,000 vehicles use South Road each day and along this section between West High Marsh and Darlington, the average speed is under 30 kilometres per hour.
01:20The government says once construction is complete, it'll take just nine minutes, a saving of between 30 and 40 minutes during peak hour.
01:2921 sets of traffic lights removed, 40 minutes off commute time and that means for people that's 40 minutes more you can spend with your families.
01:39Some light at the end of the tunnel.
