Frome Road is a connecting road in the South Australian capital city of Adelaide. It starts from North Terrace in the Adelaide city centre, running in a northerly direction past the University of South Australia, the site of the old Royal Adelaide Hospital, now known as Lot Fourteen, the Institute of Medical and Veterinary Science and the University of Adelaide, and then through the Adelaide Parklands to the Adelaide Zoo where it turns northeasterly, crosses the River Torrens via Albert Bridge, and continues through the parklands to the intersection with Melbourne Street and Brougham Place in North Adelaide.[1] It is one of the three roads connecting the city centre to North Adelaide, the others being King William Road and Montefiore Road.
The road (and street) are named after Edward Charles Frome, a Surveyor General of South Australia.[2]
Frome Road is continued south into the city square as Frome Street, which was built in the 1960s and runs through the Adelaide city centre from North Terrace to Carrington Street.
Adelaide Botanic High School opened in January 2019 on Frome Road.[3]
In 2024-2025, the Frome Street Bikeway was extended along Frome Road.[4][5]
