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.

Latest News

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 help inform our planning for these improvements, site investigation works, including service locating surveys, are underway and will continue until late March 2025.

We will come back to community in the coming months with more information as we progress the planning for these important works.

What's next

To improve the safety and amenity of connections around Goodwood Station, with minimal impacts on the Forestville Reserve, we will make some local improvements to existing infrastructure.

Planned local upgrades

  • widening the two archways under the tramline to improve the safety of the shared use paths on both the eastern and western sides of the rail line. This will increase the width of the archways to approximately 5.5m on each side enabling safer movements for cyclists and pedestrians on a 4m wide shared path.
  • refreshing the existing subway and ramps to improve safety and amenity, including a lighting upgrade, installing safety mirrors, CCTV installation, drainage improvements, new non-slip surface and re-painting.

Upcoming Mike Turtur Bikeway improvements include:

  • An elevated Mike Turtur Bikeway over two arterial roads (Marion and Cross) is a key feature of the Marion ANZAC Cross Road Project. See website for details.
  • An elevated Mike Turtur Bikeway over Morphett Road, Morphettville is a key feature of the Morphett Road Level Crossing Removal Project. See website for details.

Community engagement

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

More information about the planned local upgrades, including construction timelines, will be shared once available.
