There will be a full closure of the whole tram network all day Saturday, 2 August and Sunday, 3 August 2025.
Following this, the Glenelg tram line will be closed between South Terrace, Adelaide and Moseley Square, Glenelg until late January 2026.
There will be substitute bus services in place for all closures.
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.
Buses will replace trams during the six-month partial closure, connecting with trams arriving and departing at South Terrace tram stop. Substitute bus services will match the tram frequency and capacity, operating every 10 to 20 minutes during the day and night, and increasing to every 5 minutes during weekday peak periods.
The replacement bus will service substitute bus stops as close to the tram stop as possible. There may be longer travel times with modified routes and more congested traffic conditions, so we encourage you to plan ahead.
Tram services will continue to operate as normal between:

A mixture of all-stop, limited-stop and express services will be in operation. During peak travel times and major events, there will also be extra replacement buses to cater for demand.
Every effort is made so that timetabled substitute bus services are accessible for all customers, including the elderly, customers with a disability and those travelling with prams.
If you have concerns about accessing public transport during the tram line closures, we encourage you to contact the substitute bus operator for your line.
For all other queries, please call the Adelaide Metro InfoLine on 1300 311 108 for assistance.
Once completed, upgrades as part of the Tram Grade Separation Projects will deliver significant benefits for commuters and the wider community.
We thank you for your patience while these important works are carried out, ensuring a safer and more efficient tram network for the future.
