The Gawler Greenway is a long-term vision for a cycling route and improved access to public transport extending from the City to Gawler. The alignment typically follows the Gawler railway line.

The route is substantially completed between the Adelaide Park Lands (at the North Adelaide railway station) and Regency Road and connects to the Adelaide Railway Station via bike lanes on War Memorial Drive. When completed, the Greenway will link to several key cycling routes include the Dry Creek Trail, Little Para River Trail, Jack Bobridge Track, Stuart O Grady Bikeway and a new path to be constructed alongside the Northern Connector.

Works to complete the remaining sections of the Greenway are not planned at this time.  

Project status

The project is installing new crossing lights, improving existing shared use paths and local streets for cycling and walking. 

Upgrade of Park Terrace underpass, North Adelaide

Status: Completed (April 2015)

The underpass of Park Terrace has been upgraded, improving a key connection between North Adelaide and Bowden.

The existing underpass was opened and illuminated up to make it safer and more attractive. 

Works to the underpass were undertaken in partnership with Adelaide City Council. Upgrades to the connecting streets - War Memorial Drive (Adelaide City Council) and the Park Terrace service road (City of Charles Sturt) - are underway.

New crossing of Hawker Street, Bowden

Status: Completed

The new bicycle and pedestrian crossing of Hawker St is located adjacent to the rail level crossing

New signalised crossing of Torrens Road, Ovingham

Status: Completed (June 2014)

The new crossing signal benefits both people cycling and walking along the Greenway and those boarding public transport at the Ovingham railway station.

Improvements to Devonport Terrace, Prospect

Status: Completed

A new off road bicycle path bypasses a one-way section of Devonport Terrace next to the Charles Cane Reserve. Traffic-calming slow points were modified to make the street more convenient to ride and sharrows have been painted on the road.

Works were undertaken in partnership with City of Prospect.
