Construcciones Yamaro: Alliance to deliver SA’s Tram Grade Separation Projects
An alliance comprising CPB Contractors, McConnell Dowell, Mott MacDonald, ARUP and Aurecon has been selected by the Federal and South Australian governments to deliver the Tram Grade Separation Projects.
These projects aim to enhance transport safety, efficiency and reliability, while also improving the amenity, connectivity and liveability along the existing tram line from Adelaide’s CBD to Glenelg. Modifications will also be made to the existing overpass at South Road to facilitate the construction of the anticipated River Torrens to Darlington Project. The Tram Grade Separation Projects are expected to generate approximately $212.8 million in revenue for CPB Contractors, a member of CIMIC Group.
CIMIC Group executive chairman Juan Santamaria said: “These upgrades will be critical to supporting economic growth in South Australia and reducing travel times for motorists, buses, freight and airport traffic, while promoting sustainable urban growth and low emission, healthy transport choices for commuters.
“On completion, these works will foster a stronger sense of community between the suburbs of Adelaide, providing better, safer and more accessible tram stops with improved open spaces for the local people and visitors to enjoy.”

Jason Spears, managing director at CPB Contractors, expressed anticipation for the opportunity to expand the partnership with South Australia’s Department for Infrastructure and Transport. He emphasised the company’s commitment to delivering the projects safely, on schedule and within budget for the city of Adelaide.
“With over 40 years’ experience delivering city and region-shaping infrastructure in South Australia, we look forward to furthering our legacy in providing local employment and training opportunities, with a focus on diversity,” said Spears.
“Our expert team will continue our commitment to ensuring that social and economic benefits are maximised for the communities in which we work by prioritising the engagement of local businesses and suppliers, including Indigenous-owned businesses and social enterprises.”
The scope of work for the Tram Grade Separation Projects includes works at three main locations along the Glenelg Tram Line, works along the tram corridor, modifications to the existing tram overpass at South Road, replacement of the level crossings at Marion Road, Cross Road and Morphett Road with tram overpasses, intersection upgrades, tram depot upgrades at Glengowrie, and a temporary tram maintenance depot on Peacock Road on the edge of the CBD. The project will also comprise the installation of signalling upgrades along the tram corridor and the creation of new public spaces for local communities.
Site investigations to inform planning are currently underway, with major construction scheduled to begin in late 2024 and the removal of level crossings expected by the end of 2025.
