Mike Turtur Bikeway Upgrade

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 next

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.
  • Refreshing the existing subway and ramps – 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.
