History

Mawson Interchange was constructed as part of the Mawson Connector project, which saw the construction of a new dual carriageway, now Elder Smith Road, through Mawson Lakes, and over the Gawler rail line.[2] The $33 million Mawson Interchange project was officially opened in March 2006, complete with approximately 100 carparks, a large bus interchange and a pedestrian overpass connected to the Elder Smith Rd bridge.[3] At the time, Mawson Interchange was the first new public transport interchange to be built in Adelaide in more than 15 years.[2] In 2017, there were several calls for a multi-level carpark to be constructed on the site of the existing carpark, due to increasing passenger numbers, however, this never eventuated.[4]
