Grade separation
Funding for a grade separation of Torrens Road and the Gawler line was announced in the 2019/2020 state budget, with a combined contribution of $231 million from the Federal and State governments.[2] The preferred design was revealed in June 2020 which would see an overpass built for Torrens Road to run over the Gawler line; the nearby intersection of Torrens and Churchill Roads would also be raised to meet the elevated height of Torrens Road. Major construction commenced in 2021 with anticipated completion in 2023.[3] The station itself was partly demolished in March 2022 during construction works, and remained closed when the Gawler line reopened in June 2022.[4] Ovingham station later reopened on 7 November 2022, complete with new platforms, lighting, signage and shelters.[5]
