The Goodwood Overpass carries the Glenelg tram line over the Adelaide-Wolseley railway line in Adelaide, Australia.

History

[edit]

When originally built, the Glenelg tram line crossed over the Adelaide-Wolseley railway line via a flat junction to the south of Goodwood railway station. As part of a project by the Municipal Tramways Trust to rebuild the tram line, an overpass was built in 1929.[1][2][3] In 1978/79, the wooden deck was replaced with concrete.[4][5][6] Although the overpass crosses over Goodwood railway station, there are no interchange facilities.
