Works to relocate Telstra and South Australia Power Network services adjacent to the Mike Turtur Bikeway Railside Trail are expected to continue until August. This work is associated with the construction of the Morphett Rd tram and bike overpass.
Cyclists are being detoured to local streets to the south while pedestrians will be detoured to the north, using the Anzac Highway footpath. The detour map shows both detours.
When the Morphett Rd overpass construction commences, a new detour will be implemented requiring the Mike Turtur Bikeway Railside Trail to be closed at all project locations from August.
Cyclists and pedestrians can use the Westside Bikeway Rail Trail as an alternative route to the city. The Westside Bikeway starts at the Sturt River Linear Bikeway, 200 m north of the Mike Turtur Bikeway. The detour map shows how to reach the Westside Bikeway from the Mike Turtur and Sturt River Linear Bikeway.
