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 2008, and it will go from the National Highway 1 (west of Salisbury) to the town of Gawler, connecting to the Sturt Highway. 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 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]

[edit] Extensions
It is also possible that the expressway will not end at Port Wakefield Road. In early 2008, the South Australian Government announced plans for the Northern Connector, an extension of the Northern Expressway, over Port Wakefield Road to connect with the Salisbury Highway link to the Port River Expressway. This section would also include a major diversion in the main ARTC interstate rail line, which would run down the middle of the expressway as far as Taylors Road. [2]
