Westside Bikeway
Open-knowledge reference entry
The Westside Bikeway is a shared walking and cycling route through the western suburbs of Adelaide following the former Holdfast Bay railway line. It provides a connection from Glenelg to the various trails and paths in the Adelaide Parklands.
Route
The bikeway starts near Mile End railway station and follows adjacent to James Congdon Drive to South Road. The remainder of the trail is in the railway easement with minor roads nearby. It provides traffic lights where it crosses main roads. One of the old railway platforms is still visible at Plympton.
West of Morphett Road, the path goes round the edge of an oval and meets Anzac Highway, where it intersects the Sturt River trail. There are quiet street connections to Glenelg North via the Sturt River path or south onto the Mike Turtur Bikeway and into Glenelg.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Westside Bikeway”, the useful work is to connect “open-knowledge reference entry” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q24189460. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
