Project Status

The raising of London Circuit is a critical enabling project for Light Rail to Woden (City to Commonwealth Park), which will extend the light rail network by 1.7 kilometres to provide a better connection between the city and the lake. Works to raise London Circuit have started, and London Circuit is now closed between Edinburgh Avenue and Constitution Avenue.

Raising London Circuit will provide level access for pedestrians and a wider range of transport modes between the CBD, City West, Acton and the Acton Waterfront. It will improve the overall connectivity and amenity of our city precinct and make it easy for people to move around by foot, bicycle or car. Amenity of the local area will be further improved by landscaping, with new trees planted along London Circuit’s eastern verge.

The first section of light rail to Woden will deliver a convenient new transport option from Alinga Street to Commonwealth Park to provide a better connection between the city and the lake. Three new stops will extend the light rail network by 1.7 kilometres, while London Circuit will be raised to enhance the amenity and connectivity of the city. Stage 2A is jointly funded by the ACT Government and the Australian Government.

The ACT Government is progressing design, planning and approvals work on Commonwealth Park to Woden (Stage 2B).

Extending light rail further south will give more people more transport options, help reduce traffic congestion and support Canberra’s transition to a zero emissions future. Stage 2B is the most complex section of the proposed light rail network. Light rail vehicles will need to cross Lake Burley Griffin via a new bridge constructed between the existing Commonwealth Avenue bridges, travel through the National Triangle and along Adelaide Avenue and Yarra Glen. This complex project requires several Australian Government and Territory environmental and planning approvals.

Stage 2B is expected to deliver at least nine new stops.
