⁠⁠⁠Overview

The Department for Infrastructure and Transport (SA) invites suitably experienced and prequalified companies to submit a Registration of Interest (ROI) for the Design and Construction of Curtis Road Level Crossing Removal, Contract No. 26C023.

The Australian and South Australian Governments have jointly committed $250 million (50:50 Federal, State funding) to fund the removal of the Curtis Road level crossing with a road over rail grade separation.
