South Aussies are reminded to plan ahead if they’re heading to the CBD tomorrow, where there will be several roads closed for the National Pharmacies Christmas Pageant.
City roads including North Terrace, King William, Pulteney, Grenfell, Currie and Wakefield Streets will have closures in place between 5am – 1pm as the annual pageant makes its way through town.
A full list of road closures can be viewed at the Christmas Pageant website.
RAA Senior Traffic Engineer Matt Vertudaches encouraged anyone travelling in the area to plan ahead so they aren’t caught out.
“The Christmas Pageant brings more than 300,000 people into the city each year, so the CBD will be busy and road closures will be in place,” Mr Vertudaches said.
“Everyone intending to travel through or near the area should plan ahead to ensure they aren’t caught out by the changed traffic conditions.
“If you’re driving to the Pageant itself, on-street parking will be difficult to find so check the availability of off-street parking and allow plenty of time.
“Public transport is a great option and there will be free public transport and additional services throughout the morning – so check the Adelaide Metro website for more details.
“If you’re there especially early, wait until the roads are officially closed before setting up your blankets and rugs on the road surface.
“If you’re not going to the Pageant, keep in mind that there will be several roads closed in the morning and lots of children around – so please drive to the conditions.”
This year’s pageant route will start in South Terrace, turning right into King William Street, along the western roadway of Tarntanyangga boundary then right into Reconciliation Plaza and Wakefield Street, left into Pulteney Street, then to North Tce, King William Street and finishing at Beehive corner, on the corner of Rundle Mall.
