Tram Grade Separation Projects

We are removing three level crossings where the Glenelg tram line crosses Marion Road and Cross Road, Plympton and Morphett Road, Morphettville.

Removing these level crossings will reduce traffic congestion, and make your journey safer and more reliable.

We are also rebuilding the South Road Tram Overpass to accommodate the River Torrens to Darlington Project (T2D).

These projects will be delivered by the Tram Grade Separation Projects Alliance (TGSPA) together with the Department for Infrastructure and Transport.

The Tram Grade Separation Projects (TGSP) includes:

  • Site investigations to inform detailed design are underway. Major construction will start in late 2024 and the level crossings will be removed by the end of 2025.

Tram line temporary closure

To fast-track construction and reduce its impact on residents, businesses, and road and public transport users, we will be temporarily closing the Glenelg tram line.

We have worked hard to co-ordinate activities so that we can complete the major projects during the closure period.

The tram line closure will start in the second half of 2025. We will have the tram line ready for testing and commissioning late 2025 with services scheduled to resume late January 2026 in time for the return of school.

We will run substitute buses between South Terrace and Glenelg during this time.
