O-Bahn City Access Project - Linear Park reopens to cyclists and pedestrians
The River Torrens Linear Park paths underneath Hackney Bridge reopened on Monday 3 July, following major construction works on the two bridges over the River Torrens.
Major construction works to widen the Hackney Bridge to create a dedicated bus lane, freeing up more space for other vehicles, forced the closure of the Linear Park paths for the safety and welfare of cyclists and pedestrians.
The path closure also enabled the construction of a new shared use pedestrian and cycling bridge over the River Torrens which will link to a new dedicated path on the western side of Hackney Road between Bundeys and Botanic Roads. The new shared use pedestrian and cycling bridge is set to open in coming weeks.
