McGilton Road works to begin

Published 3rd February 2025

Drivers travelling along McGilton Road in Berri can expect detours and some minor inconvenience in coming weeks to allow for the road to be remediated.

McGilton Road required reconstruction works to allow for stormwater infrastructure upgrades.
Berri Barmera Council CEO Tim Pfeiffer said the works, which will see the closure of a section of McGilton Road, are expected to take about a month.
“We thank McGilton Road travellers for their patience while we undertake these works,” he said.
“Council is looking forward to having this road fixed and while inconvenient, these works must be done to remediate the road properly.”
The works will begin Monday 10 February, with the closure of McGilton Road from Trenaman Crescent through to Clarke Road.
Traffic management will be in place daily to help navigate the area, and there will be temporary changes to both vehicle and pedestrian access during the works.
Traffic for Calvary St Catherine’s Aged Care will be detoured, directing vehicles to park in the Berri Tennis Club carpark along Trenaman Crescent. Signage will then be in place for pedestrians to access the facility.
Disability, staff and delivery access to St Catherine’s Aged Care will take place through the rear of the site through the Riverland Central Shopping Centre (Coles) carpark.
Meanwhile, patients of the Berri Medical Clinic can access the facility via Clarke Road. A temporary carpark has been established on the corner of Clarke Road and McGilton Road.
The road will be closed to the public with the exception of council vehicles, emergency services vehicles and contractor vehicles. McGilton Road will reopen to the public at 4pm each day.
Berri Riverside Holiday Park patrons are encouraged to take alternative routes to access the park on Riverview Drive.
