Victoria Road (State Route A16) is major road in Adelaide, South Australia, connecting Port Adelaide to the LeFevre Peninsula and Outer Harbor.

It is a part of the A16 State Route, which begins in the suburb of Vista, as Grand Junction Road. It then continues as Causeway Road and Semaphore Road. Victoria Road is simply the last section. [1]

[edit] Port River Expressway

Due to construction of the Port River Expressway, the southernmost point of Victoria Road is seeing some major infrastructure changes. Originally the road began at the cross intersection with Nelson Street, Elders Road and Semaphore Road. When the expressway is completed mid 2008, Victoria Road will have been diverted to become simply a continuation, bypassing Semaphore Road and intersecting only with Nelson Street. [2]
