The Department for Infrastructure and Transport has provided a further update on the new Mike Turtur Bikeway sections being delivered as part of the Tram Grade Separation Projects.

Following final safety audits in July, additional handrailing was identified as necessary before the new elevated shared-use paths at Morphett Road and Marion and Cross Roads can open.

Design work for the additional handrails has now been completed, with materials being ordered and some components already in fabrication.

The project team is currently targeting completion of the remaining works and reopening of the Mike Turtur Bikeway by the end of September.

These new sections will provide an important improvement to the connection between Glenelg and the city, and it’s great to see the project moving into its final stages.

We know plenty of riders are looking forward to getting onto the new bikeway, and we’ll share the confirmed opening date as soon as it’s available.
