The Upper Yorke Peninsula Regional Road Network Upgrade Program aims to improve safety and efficiency for heavy vehicles, motorists and agricultural vehicles driving on roads in the Upper Yorke Peninsula.

A major component of the program will improve freight access between Ardrossan and Port Wakefield for road train access. The road between these towns represents a missing link in the Restricted Access Vehicle network for 36.5 metre road train vehicles and causes a freight productivity constraint for the Yorke Peninsula.

The program of works includes:
* A new roundabout at the junction of the Yorke and Copper Coast Highways.
* New overtaking lanes on the Yorke Highway.
* Bridge widening at Port Clinton.
* Safety improvements on Yorke Highway, north of Ardrossan.
* Upgrade of the intersection of the Curramulka to Port Vincent Road (known locally as Dans Road) and Minlaton to Port Vincent Road.
* Pavement rehabilitation on the Bute to Kulpara Road.
* Upgrades on the Copper Coast Highway between Paskeville and Kadina.
* Intersection upgrade Minlaton Yorketown Road and Minlaton Warooka Road.
* Shoulder sealing.
* Other intersection and junction upgrades.
