Below is the indicative construction schedule and the expected completion dates for different phases of the Transforming Jetty Road Glenelg project.

Phase 1 - August 2025 to late December 2025

Works undertaken during this time include:

• New underground stormwater pipes and a trench grate system on Colley Terrace to Hope Street and Jetty Road to Sussex Street
• Upgraded stormwater systems and common services trenches from Hope Street to Gordon / Partridge Street
• The roadway, tram stops and parking bays between Moseley Square and Gordon / Partridge streets intersection
• The paved footpaths and garden beds between Moseley Square and Sussex Street
• Traffic lights infrastructure installed for the pedestrian crossing at the Jetty Road / Moseley Street intersection
• The Gordon / Partridge streets intersection road works subject to Service Authority that needs to be undertaken to complete this work
• New tram stop material treatments to better integrate the stops into the footpaths

At the completion of this work, Jetty Road (west of Gordon / Partridge streets) is expected to reopen to vehicles in late December 2025.

Phase 2 - September 2025 to March 2026

Works undertaken during this time include:

• Colley Terrace and the interface with Moseley Square (the plaza area)
• Outstanding footpath work and garden beds along Jetty Road between Nile Street and Gordon / Partridge streets intersection

At the completion of this work, Colley Terrace is expected to reopen to vehicles in March 2026

Phase 3 - January 2026 to August 2026

Works undertaken during this time include:

• Side street interfaces with Jetty Road
• Any outstanding works along Jetty Road
  
  

Additional information

With Phase 1 scheduled for completion by late December 2025, the construction footprint will be significantly reduced over the Christmas and New Year period, with only small compounds remaining in isolated locations east of Sussex Street.

The roadway and all parking bays and tram stops on Jetty Road will be completed and reopened for public use.

Nighttime and weekend construction works

Nighttime and weekend construction works are being limited for several reasons:

• To offer traders, who operate during the day and night, a reprieve from the noise and large construction footprint and accelerated program of works
• A reprieve from the noise and construction works also applies to residents who live within or nearby the Jetty Road precinct
• To construct at night incurs significant and additional costs. As the budget for the Transforming Jetty Road Glenelg project is fixed, nighttime construction works would significantly impact on that budget, thereby reducing the amount or quality of infrastructure delivered through the Transforming Jetty Road Glenelg project.

Some low-impact work is done on Saturday mornings however the rest of the weekend remains construction free.

The construction program has already been accelerated to align with works on the Glenelg tram line, which is separate to the Transforming Jetty Road Glenelg project.

According to the State Government website, the Glenelg tram will be ready for testing and commissioning in late 2025 and services are scheduled to resume late January 2026 in time for the return of school.

The Transforming Jetty Road Glenelg project has been brought forward by almost 18 months with all works expected to be completed in the second half of 2026.
