Route
editGlen Osmond Road starts at the intersection with South Terrace along the southern border of the Adelaide city centre and heads southeast, intersecting with Hutt and Greenhill Roads through the Adelaide Park Lands, continues southeast through Eastwood and Frewville, before ending at the intersection with Cross Road, Portrush Road and South Eastern Freeway in Glen Osmond.
Glen Osmond Road houses a strip shopping precinct on the section between Greenhill and Fullarton Roads.[4] The precinct is largely populated by independent boutiques. It is a community main street stationed in the leafy suburbs of Adelaide's south east. It was earlier known as "The Gateway" because of its connection between the Adelaide CBD and Hills.
