How will the tramline bottleneck be addressed?
A. The South Road Upgrade – Glenelg Tram Overpass project was announced in the 2007-08 State budget as the next step towards the State Government’s plan to transform South Road into a continuous non-stop route from the Southern Expressway to the Port River Expressway. The South Road Upgrade / ANZAC Highway Underpass is the first step, with construction of the Glenelg Tram Overpass to be completed and open within the same timeframe as the underpass. This will have the advantage of not disrupting the same community twice with major construction works. The trams are expected to be operating on the new overpass in late 2009, to coincide with the South Road / Anzac Underpass opening for northbound and southbound traffic, with completion of the Underpass also scheduled for late 2009. The South Road Upgrade – Glenelg Tram Overpass will accelerate the benefits to road users and the local community. Minimisation of interruptions to all traffic users, reduction of queue lengths at this intersect
