Friday 14 November 2025
The South Australian Government continues to improve cycling infrastructure across the state, with a new bikeway extension in the Adelaide Hills now open.
In partnership with the Adelaide Hills Council, the Amy Gillett Bikeway has been extended from Mount Torrens through to Birdwood, adding 5.7 kilometres to achieve an overall length of 22km along the old railway trail.
The trail extension includes two new creek bridges and an innovative truss bridge over the heritage Burford Hills Rail Bridge.
The bikeway extension will be a major economic boost the region and promote walking and cycling in the area.
The $5.7 million project was funded by Federal and State Government contributions of $2.6 million each and a Council contribution of $500,000.
The Bikeway commemorates the life of professional South Australian cyclist Amy Gillett who tragically lost her life on a training ride in Germany in 2005.
