Ovingham Level Crossing Removal Project (LXRP)
The Australian and South Australian governments have announced $196 million towards the removal of the level crossing at Torrens Road, Ovingham, which will see Torrens Road elevated over the railway line which services both the interstate rail line and the Gawler passenger rail line Gawler and freight railway lines. The elevation of Torrens Road will span between Chief Street and Gilbert Street, with a new service road to be constructed to service the residents and businesses along this section of Torrens Road. An average of 21,300 vehicles pass through this level crossing each day and currently the boom gates are down for approximately 22% of AM and PM peak periods. The removal of the road/rail (level) crossing will not only improve the safety for all road users (motorists, cyclists and pedestrians) but also improve travel times for motorists.
The South Australian State Government is delivering the project as part of an alliance with McConnell Dowell Constructors (Aust) Pty Ltd, Mott MacDonald Australia Pty Ltd and Arup Pty Ltd. Works commenced in June 2021 with an anticipated project completion in 2023, weather permitting.
