The Market to Riverbank Link, Adelaide, SA
Renewal SA is a joint venture between the City of Adelaide and the South Australian State Government to upgrade the city’s key streets. The Market to Riverbank Link project aims to create an exciting and vibrant connection between the Adelaide Central Market and Adelaide Riverbank.
Project Design Brief
Designers wanted to create a more visually interesting link between the markets and the riverbank for pedestrians and cyclists with paved footpaths, tree canopies, public art, street furniture, lighting and custom designed grates.
