The Northern Expressway is a 31 kilometre long expressway that will be constructed in Adelaide, Australia. Construction on the expressway is due to begin in 2007, and it will go from the National Highway 1 (west of Salisbury) to Gawler. The new road will be built to four-lane standard and provide a faster route between Adelaide and Gawler, whilst reducing the amount of traffic on the main North Road. The Northern Expressway will consist of 23 km of new road, in addition to an 8 km upgrade of the existing Port Wakefield Road.

Construction is expected to start in 2008 and be competed by 2011. Part of the cost will be covered by the AusLink national transport funding.^[1]
