Portrush Road is a major part of the A17, a bypass route in Adelaide, the capital of South Australia[1].
It runs north-south through the eastern suburbs of Adelaide, at the foot of the Adelaide Hills. The southern end is at the foot of the Adelaide-Crafers Highway (the major route from Melbourne and the south east of South Australia). Portrush Road extends north from there crossing the four major arterial routes into the city, Greenhill Road, Kensington Road, The Parade and Magill Road.
At Payneham Road, the A17 turns north-west and changes name to Lower Portrush Road, then Ascot Avenue before intersecting with North East Road. Here is turns north again and changes name to Hampstead Road, continuing north and terminating at the intersection with Grand Junction Road.
The A17 (Portrush Road, Hampstead Road) and the A16 (Grand Junction Road) constitute the major heavy road transport route through suburban Adelaide from Port Adelaide and anywhere north of Adelaide to Victoria and the South East of South Australia.
