Key freight routes within Adelaide run between the south, north and western parts of the city. This leads to a convergence of freight to the west of central Adelaide to connect with the Port and the north-west. The SA Integrated Transport and Land Use Plan prioritises upgrades of the North-South Corridor including the Northern Expressway, Northern Connector and South Road, and separation of freight and passenger rail at Goodwood Junction.
