The Port River Expressway is a 5.5 kilometer freeway grade road, which links Port Adelaide and the LeFevre Peninsula to the northern suburbs of Adelaide, and major interstate routes via Salisbury Highway (A13) to Port Wakefield Road (A1) and the Sturt Highway (A20) to Perth and Sydney.

The expressway is only freeway grade at the South Road, Hanson Road and Eastern Parade interchanges, the following two intersections are at grade with traffic signals installed. This has lead to the route being labled as the A9, instead of the more common M label associated with freeways/expressways in South Australia.

Construction

The Port River Expressway was built in three stages:
*Stage 1 - Was opened for traffic on 19 July 2005. It consists of a 5.5 kilometre four-lane expressway link between Francis Street and South Road with an overpass at each of the junctions of South Road, Hanson Road and Eastern Parade.

*Stage 2 - Consists of a four lane high-level, opening road bridge across the Port River between Docks 1 and 2, linking Stage 1 at Francis Street to Victoria Road on Le Fevre Peninsula. This section opened on 3 August 2008 [cite web |url=http://www.dtei.sa.gov.au/infrastructure/port_river_expressway/content/stage_2_and_3.html |title=Stage 2 of the Port River Expressway |accessdate=2008-08-3 |date=2007-08-17 |publisher=South Australian Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure]
*Stage 3 - Consists of a single track, dual gauge, high-level, opening rail bridge across the Port River, north of the road bridge, with connections to the existing rail system. Opened in June 2008.
