Salisbury Highway


The Salisbury Highway is a 12 kilometre major connecting road in the northern suburbs of the Adelaide metropolitan area.
Salisbury Highway is dual carriageway in its entirety. It starts as Route A9 in Elizabeth Vale as John Rice Avenue. Past the suburb of Salisbury it takes on its Salisbury Highway name. It then runs parallel to Main North Road and crosses over Kings Road. At Port Wakefield Road, it previously changed status to National Highway A13 before ending at the intersection of the Port River Expressway and South Road. Route A9 continues along Port River Expressway. Prior to 2017, National Highway A13 then followed South Road to Grand Junction Road, where it changed status back to Route A13 and continued south along South Road, Main South Road and Victor Harbor Road, terminating at Victor Harbor on the south coast. The North–South Motorway is designated Route M2, and South Road continuing from it was converted to route A2 in May 2017.
Salisbury Highway was shown as part of the National Highway A13 between the Port Wakefield Road and the Port River Expressway on local road signage and major street directory publications.
Until the early 1990s, Salisbury Highway terminated at Port Wakefield Road. The Salisbury Highway Extension project built the bridge and interchange at Port Wakefield Road, and extended the highway to Wingfield, where it joined the north end of what was then the South Road Interconnector. Neither the Port River Expressway nor the North–South Motorway had been built at that time.
