The Outer Harbor rail line will be temporarily closed from the last train service on Friday, 13 December 2024 until the first train service on Monday, 16 December 2024 to allow for the installation of a new Active Pedestrian Crossing at Jane Street, West Croydon. Substitute bus services will operate in place of the scheduled train services.
The new crossing is a significant safety upgrade for local residents, featuring automatic gates that close as a train approaches, along with alarms and signals to alert pedestrians. Accessible ramps and improved lighting are also being installed to make it easier and safer for everyone to cross the railway line.
The previous passive maze crossing – and all pedestrian crossings across the Adelaide Metro rail network – meet all required railway safety standards. Pedestrians are reminded to stop, look, listen and think before crossing a track, and to look up from their phone.
Test trains will be operating between Bowden Railway Station and Woodville Railway Station during the closure, so it is important that pedestrians continue to follow safe practices around the railway line.
The upgrade is expected to be completed by Monday morning, providing a safer and more accessible crossing for pedestrians.
