Mike Turtur Bikeway Upgrade

Mike Turtur Bikeway Upgrade

Delivering a shared use path over the rail corridor at Goodwood to improve connectivity and safety, as well as inclusive access to the railway station.

Making local improvements to existing infrastructure.
Improving bikeway connections in Forestville.

About the project

The South Australian Government made an election commitment to put the Mike Turtur Bikeway Upgrade on hold until further consultation was undertaken to determine the next steps. This commitment was made in response to a high level of concern raised by locals about the potential impact to trees and Forestville Reserve.


On review of the potential design alternatives, and in consideration of community feedback received, it was determined that there are no feasible options to deliver an overpass or new underpass without significant tree impacts.

What's happening

We are making local improvements to existing infrastructure to improve the safety and amenity of local access, including the Mike Turtur and Marino Rocks bikeway connections in Forestville.

Key upgrades will include:

  • Forestville Reserve Archway Upgrades – we are making local improvements to existing infrastructure to improve the safety and amenity of local access, including the Mike Turtur and Marino Rocks bikeway connections in Forestville.
    To deliver the archway widening works safely, we need to do this work during the temporary tram line closure for the Tram Grade Separation Projects.
  • Upgrades to Goodwood Railway Station and existing subway – we are improving safety and amenity, including a lighting upgrade, installing safety mirrors, CCTV installation, drainage improvements, new non-slip surface and re-painting.

Community engagement

Engagement with the community and key stakeholders continues to be an important part of these upgrades. Engagement with key stakeholders and the community will continue to be important as these local upgrades are delivered.

As part of the Tram Grade Separation Projects (TGSP), sections of the Mike Turtur Bikeway will be temporarily closed with detours in place between August 2025 and early 2026.
