The expansion of Adelaide’s light rail network “Coast to Coast“, from Glenelg through the city to Semaphore is part of the $2 billion public transport blueprint announced by the South Australian Government in 2008.

The extension of the tramline to the Adelaide Entertainment Centre will provide convenient access to the new Royal Adelaide Hospital, the upgraded Adelaide Entertainment Centre, Hindmarsh Stadium and major events at Bonython Park. The project also includes a Park and Ride facility at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, providing an attractive alternative to driving and parking in the City.

Arrunga Surface Solutions is partnering with project contractor Theiss to provide the new platforms along the Coast to Coast extension.

“We’re very happy to be contributing to such an important and high-visibility project,” said Arrunga Surface Solutions Director Dave Shaughnessy. “We all take pride in knowing that Arrunga’s honed and polished concrete is going into the construction of each tram stop on the extension.”
