Port River Expressway
Due to construction of the Port River Expressway, the southernmost point of Victoria Road has seen some major infrastructure changes. Originally the road began at the cross intersection with Nelson Street, Elders Road and Semaphore Road. When construction was completed late 2008, Victoria Road was diverted to become simply a continuation of the Port River Expressway, bypassing Semaphore Road and intersecting only with Nelson Street.[2]
