POZNAN PATH CLOSED UNTIL APRIL 2013 From early November to late April 2013, the Poznan Path will be closed to allow for the expansion of the path through the Southern Expressway Duplication project. During this time both earth works and bridge construction will take place to extend the pedestrian bridge. During these construction works pedestrian access will not be available across Poznan Path, with alternative access available via either Beach Road or Honeypot Road.
The Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure acknowledges that this closure and detour will cause some inconvenience to cyclists and pedestrians and has subsequently planned works to minimise the periods of disruption and provide the most efficient detour routes.

Re: Cyclist and Pedestrian Detours for Southern Expressway Duplication
This message has been generated as part of our ongoing commitment to keep the cycling community informed about the Southern Expressway duplication project. Construction of the Southern Expressway duplication is continuing and the coming weeks will see more pedestrian/cyclist detours. Detours will be in place with traffic management and directional signage for guidance. A summary of these detours is as follows:
- Elizabeth Road/Beach Road (Morphett Vale/Hackham West): The shared use path to the east of the Southern Expressway has been detoured and will remain closed for the duration of the bridge/interchange construction at Beach Road (mid 2013). The detour utilises Columba St, Benet St, Elizabeth Rd, Selina St and a section of newly laid unsealed path.
- Lander Road Closure (Trott Park/O’Halloran Hill): the duplication of the Lander Road Overpass requires Lander Road to be closed from 17 August until late 2012. A detour for east/west travel will be implemented which will detour both cyclist and pedestrians onto Erin Place, Craig Avenue, the Patrick Jonker Veloway, Coast to Vines Trail and Young St. The section of Veloway between Craig Ave and ‘the tunnels’ will be temporarily converted to a shared use path. Signage for the detour and of the changed traffic conditions will be implemented on site.
- Coast to Vines and Perry Path (Noarlunga Downs/Huntfield Heights): The Coast to Vines Trail underpass at the southern point of the Southern Expressway is due to re-open on 30th August 2012. The closure of Perry Path will coincide with this re-opening, with a detour on Corrimal Ave, River Road, Coast to Vines Trail and the shared-use trail to the east of the Southern Expressway.
Detours also remain in place for the following bridge/road closures:
- Seacombe Road
- Sturt River Underpass
- O’Sullivan Beach Road
- Elizabeth Road
- Moore Road

July 2012
Please find attached (Seaford extension flyer Sept-2012 3) a new temporary detour for the Coast to Vines Rail Trail along Seaford Road which is slightly different from the detour plan that you would have received earlier this month.
Following receipt of some concerns received from cyclists about lack of signage and the number of changes cyclists have to navigate on Seaford Road, we have done a further audit of the temporary detour path. With most of the Seaford Road bridge works on the southern side now complete, you will not that for the most part of Seaford Road, prior to turning onto Grand Boulevard the temporary detour is now on the southern side. In addition, missing signage has now been replaced to better signpost the temporary detour path. Loose gravel that covered some section of path has also been removed by street sweepers and the path will be regularly monitored and ‘cleaned’ as required.
We are still anticipating the final path to be in place at the end of September 2012 when construction works close to the final path will be completed (weather permitting). Asphalting works of the final path will also commence next week.
We thank you for providing your feedback on the temporary detour and hope that the above actions will be a noticeable improvement to cyclists. The final asphalted Coast to Vines Rail Trail is on track to be completed in September 2012.
If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact Zaira or Kath on the Project Enquiry Line on: 1800 791 883 or email: sre.enquiries@tmdjv.com.au Kind Regards Seaford Rail Extension Project Team
