The Glenelg tram level crossing at the Morphett Road and Anzac Highway intersection is a major bottleneck for commuters and is one of the most frequently raised issues that I hear when I am out in our community.
Last year, the State Government announced that the Glenelg tram line will be closed between Glenelg and the City to allow construction of an overpass over Marion Road and Cross Road. A significant number of residents have contacted me to advocate for an overpass to be built at the Morphett Road tram crossing while the tram line is closed.
I have been advocating for a solution since before I was elected as the Member for Morphett in 2018, to reduce congestion and improve road safety at this intersection.
In March 2022, I worked with my Federal Liberal colleagues to secure funding to undertake a design for this intersection. I'm pleased that design work commenced in 2023, to provide a solution at Anzac Highway, Morphett Road and the Glenelg tram line.
When a design is available, construction can commence once funding is allocated.
