<p>Freight network planning – including intermodal terminal developments – feature in the Auslink Adelaide urban corridor draft strategy.</p> <p>As is likely with all the urban corridor drafts, how road and rail freight needs interact with broader urban transport demands is a focus of the Adelaide draft strategy put together by federal and state transport departments.</p> <p>In the short term, the plan focuses on maintenance and upgrading of present roads and completing improvements already underway.</p> <p>Port River Expressway, the Northern Expressway and Sir Donald Bradman Drive servicing the airport are key routes here.</p> <p>On rail, rail gauge incompatibilities and resolving conflicts at the Torrens and Goodwood Junctions between freight and passenger trains are priorities.</p> <p>Longer term, the state should “integrate land use and transport planning and identify, protect and reserve current and future transport corridors and intermodal terminals”, the draft strategy said.</p> <br />
