TTP Park ‘n’ Ride expansion taking shape

Friday, 24 March 2023

Major works have begun on the $43.5 million expansion of the Tea Tree Plaza Park ‘n’ Ride, which will increase capacity to about 1200 car parks.

Construction work on creating the superstructure commenced this week, including pouring concrete for the supporting columns.

When complete, the new Park ‘n’ Ride will increase the number of parking spaces in the Tea Tree Plaza interchange precinct by 500, from the current 700 to a total of approximately 1200.

The additional spaces will make public transport an even more attractive option for north-eastern suburbs commuters, making access to Adelaide’s public transport network easier and more convenient.

The new multi-storey car park is being built adjacent the existing Park ‘n’ Ride, and will consist of a ground floor and three upper levels. It will be accessed via a ramp connecting it to the existing Park ‘n’ Ride, providing commuters with a single entry and exit point.

Construction firm Built has been awarded the contract to design and build the Park ‘n’ Ride project, which is supporting approximately 215 full-time equivalent jobs per year during construction and is due for completion in mid-2024.
