UPCOMING PROJECT
Mount Barker Interchange Upgrade
At Bardavcol, we thrive on constructing infrastructure to enhance the lives of our fellow South Australians.
On behalf of the South Australian Government, Bardavcol will join with Tonkin and their partner GHD in designing and constructing the Mount Barker Interchange Upgrade. Mount Barker is currently a major growth area in the Adelaide Hills, upgrading this interchange will improve capacity, traffic efficiency and commuter safety in the area.
The upgraded interchange will include:
· A new three lane bridge over the South Eastern Freeway for northbound traffic
· Conversion of the existing bridge to accommodate three lanes of southbound traffic
· A new signalised intersection at Adelaide Road and the freeway exit ramp from Murray Bridge
· Upgrades to the existing ramps to and from Adelaide to improve safety and capacity
· A new bus priority lane
· A new shared path
· A new northbound on road bike lane
· Improved accessibility and safety for Adelaide Road service road.
Design is currently underway, with construction planned to start at the end of this year. This coincides just as Bardavcol celebrates 50 years of operation, a milestone for our proudly South Australian company.
Our team is ready to go to deliver this transformational asset for the Hills community and all of its visitors.

HIGHLIGHTED PROJECT
Light River Rail Replacement - Design & Construct
Located in Korunye between Adelaide and Crystal Brook, the Light River Rail Bridge — a 28m steel bridge constructed circa 1915 — had reached the end of its service life and required replacement.
Bardavcol, in partnership with Sterling Infrastructure, recently completed the design and construction of the new bridge for ARTC.
The works included removal of the existing structure and construction of a new 28m steel superstructure through-span bridge, supported by concrete piles and pile caps. The track is carried by ballast over precast concrete deck panels. The new bridge was designed to accommodate 300LA rail traffic load and provides a 100-year design life.
A major highlight of the project was the successful replacement of the bridge within a 60-hour rail shutdown window over the Easter weekend. The Bardavcol team worked tirelessly to remove the existing bridge and install the new structure, ensuring the track was re-opened on schedule.
The imagery showcases both the intensity of the shutdown works and the quality of the completed bridge. This project was a true team effort — with Bardavcol’s delivery team, our design partners at Sterling, our contractors, and the strong collaboration of our client, ARTC.
As a proudly South Australian owned and operated business, Bardavcol continues to deliver a wide range of civil projects that support our state. We are always looking for talented people to join our team — whether you’re a qualified engineer, operator, apprentice, or trainee, we’d love to hear from you.
