General Information:

A22 is a short suburban connector route in Adelaide's inner northern suburbs. A mix of divided and undivided road, it services mostly residential and industrial areas.

July 2015: Construction started on works to ease congestion and increased traffic on Torrens Rd at the junction with Park Tce, Fitzroy Tece and Jeffcott Rd. The work included the provision of a third city-bound lane on Torrens Road, utilising the existing long left turn lane into Churchill Road as it crosses the rail line and removing the dedicated bus lane on the northern approach to the Churchill Road intersection. ^{2 3}
