SA Water together with McConnell Diona Joint Venture (MDJV) are installing a new water main to support growth in the Moana area.
Project Overview
The project involves installing 4.2 kilometres of new water main pipework along Tatachilla Road (from California Road to Main South Road), Maslin Beach Road, and the southern section of Commercial Road.
Snapshot of progress to date and current timing
We will update this section regularly, please watch for updates.
With the majority of works nearing completion, we’re aware that several sections of the road require further reinstatement.
To address this, MDJV will return to site to undertake additional repair works, commencing in the week of Monday, 11 August (for up to 4 weeks). The following activities are planned:
Tatachilla Road:
Trench repairs will be completed on the majority of Tatachilla Road.
Maslin Beach Road:
Minor trench repairs will be completed on both the eastern and western sides of the quarry crossing.
Commercial Road:
Asphalt works are now complete, with further repairs scheduled for the southern end.
Kindly note sectional detours will be in place during these works to ensure safety. Detour maps will be posted on this page as they become available.
Kindly note that while dates are indicative of our project timeline, these may change depending on weather conditions and any technical constraints our teams may encounter.
How will project works affect you?
Works will be completed in stages with road closures and detours required (noting strict local access only in some locations i.e. to properties with access points only within the work zone). Traffic management (including traffic controllers) and advance notification to road users will be in place.
These works require the use of noise generating machinery, hence construction activities may result in some noise and disruption impacts to nearby residents and businesses. Though construction noise cannot be avoided, where possible we will make every reasonable and practicable effort to minimise noise and disruption resulting from these works.
We will notify you in advance should any of these works require a planned and temporary disruption to your water supply.
Detour maps
Detour routes for nightworks on Commercial Road:
Please note:
The Commercial Road work zone will be closed to traffic during nightworks only – traffic can access as usual throughout the day and Friday and Saturday nights.
Due to it being a moving / progressive work zone, the areas will be impacted differently throughout the project and these will always be reflected in the traffic management in place.
During nightworks, traffic controllers will accommodate strictly local traffic and 000 Emergency Vehicles only(meaning only road users who require access to driveways on the closed section of Commercial Road).
Access to and from Sunset Drive will be accommodated at all times.
Babbacombe Drive and Albany Way will remain open and accessible during nightworks, however detours (Maps 1 or 2 depending on works location) will need to be followed for access to/from the Southern end of Commercial Road.
Once our work zone moves north of Sunset Drive and Seaside Boulevard, traffic will be permitted access to these streets from the south.
The section that will be completed as day works is not within the road corridor, no traffic will be impacted (nor detours necessary) for this portion of the works.
Bus detour information throughout the nightwork closures can be located here.
