Adelaide's longest tram route could be out of action for up to nine months, leaving commuters facing alternative transport options as $400 million overpass construction work is carried out.
abc.net.au/news/adelaide-glenelg-tram-line-closure-to-allow-for-overpass/102194896Commuters along Adelaide's longest tram network are facing the prospect of having to rely on alternative means of transport for up to nine months, as overpass construction work is carried out.
The government today released further details about that plan and its impact on passengers, revealing that the line would be closed for six-to-nine months to allow for construction."[This] is a major piece of work, but of course that will mean we'll have to have the tram out of action," Mr Koutsantonis said.
He said trams through the CBD, to the Royal Adelaide Hospital and Adelaide Entertainment Centre, were not likely to be impacted — but that several properties would be compulsorily acquired."We are very confident we will be able to run trams from around the parklands, through the city through to the Entertainment Centre.
