About the project
We're working with the Tram Grade Separation Projects Alliance to:
- make journeys safer and more reliable for everyone
- improve safety for local residents, motorists, pedestrians, cyclists and tram drivers
- provide new, safer and more accessible tram stops with improved pedestrian access
- improve connection and sense of community between the suburbs either side of the tram line
- elevate the Mike Turtur bikeway as a shared use path alongside the tram line
- create new community open space under the overpasses for locals to enjoy.
For more information on the Project, visit the Tram Grade Separation Projects Alliance website.
What's happening
We have removed three congested tram level crossings and built new overpasses at Plympton and Morphettville.
We have also rebuilt the South Road Tram Overpass at Glandore to accommodate the River Torrens to Darlington (T2D) Project open motorway.
New landscaped community spaces are coming soon!
The Mike Turtur Bikeway will progressively open across all three project sites, with all locations planned to be open in July 2026. South Road will be the first location to open in June 2026.
