Senior Infrastructure Development Specialist

The Torrens to Darlington project is a monumental undertaking, delivering the final 10.5km section of the North-South Corridor. This continuous 78km motorway will revolutionize traffic flow in Adelaide, forming a lasting legacy for the community.

As part of this ambitious project, two separate tunnels – the Southern Tunnels and the Northern Tunnels – are being constructed, connected by an open motorway. The combined distance of these tunnels is 10.5km. The project encompasses not only the tunnels but also surface works, including road and bridge construction, as well as services buildings and complex mechanical and electrical infrastructure. We strive to provide opportunities for local people, Aboriginal workers, apprentices, trainees, and job seekers who have been long-term unemployed, giving them a chance to be part of this iconic project.
