Atthe southern end of FMCP, an existing ‘Staggered T-Intersection’ would befurther emphasised to ensure that drivers slow down and stop prior toproceeding through the Park.The southern section of the Project, at the intersection of Chauncey’s Line &Kangaroo Road, will form a direct continuation of Alexandrina Council’s recentredevelopment and seal of the adjoining Kangaroo Road that included a StateGovernment contribution / investment of $450,000. At the northern most end,the Project links into the Monarto Freeway Interchange near the developingMonarto South Industrial Precinct. Local roads immediately north of theSoutheast Freeway at Monarto (Schenscher Road – Pallamana Road –Wagenknecht Road) have also been upgraded to B-Double standard withCommonwealth funding.The Project, as shown below in Figure 1, will be an upgrade of the existingstrategic network and will provide a transport corridor linking the LanghorneCreek area to the Barossa Valley.
