The Northern Connector (proposed route M20) is a 15 kilometre long proposed expressway in Adelaide, South Australia. It will travel from the North-South Motorway (National Highway M2) at Wingfield to the Northern Expressway (M20) as part of an ongoing plan to develop a continuous freeway grade road between Victor Harbor and Nuriootpa known as the North-South Corridor. The road will be built to eight-lane standard and provided a faster, safer and less congested route over the section of the North-South Corridor between South Road and the new Northern Expressway.[1]

This would involve the construction of a four-way cloverstack interchange at the Port River Expressway / North-South Motorway intersection[2] and would also include a major diversion in the main ARTC interstate rail line, which would run down the middle of the new connector freeway between Dry Creek, South Australia and Taylors Road at Waterloo Corner. This is proposed to be the state's first Toll Road. [3]
