Route

Cross Road starts at the intersection at Anzac Highway in Plympton and heads directly east, crossing the Glenelg tram line shortly after, then crossing the Flinders railway line and Seaford railway line at Emerson Crossing under the South Road underpass, and the Belair and Adelaide-Wolseley railway lines in Unley Park. It continues east through Highgate and eventually ends at Glen Osmond and the Adelaide Hills, at the junction of Glen Osmond Road, Portrush Road, and South Eastern Freeway.

History

In a 1949 street directory, Cross Road had its current route, but was named "Cross Roads" (plural) and is shown as the aggregation of a number of local street names including:[4]

  • Napier Terrace (Between Unley and Goodwood Roads)
  • South Terrace (between Goodwood and South Roads)
