All tram services will be temporarily suspended over six weekends between May and August 2025. The Glenelg tram line will be partially closed between South Terrace and Moseley Square from Monday 4 August 2025 to late January 2026.
This is to allow for major works as part of the Tram Grade Separation Projects, which will make the journey safer and more reliable for both road and public transport users.
There will be substitute bus services in place during the closures.
The whole tram network will be closed:
Substitute bus services will match the tram timetable, operating every 10 minutes during the day and every 15 to 20 minutes at night.
Substitute bus services will stop at all substitute bus stops as close to the tram stop as possible. There may be longer travel times with changed routes and traffic conditions, so we encourage you to plan ahead.
Festival Plaza tram stop will not be serviced during the weekend closures.
