The Anzac Highway is an 11 kilometre main arterial road heading southwest from the centre of Adelaide, the capital of South Australia. It runs from the southwest corner of the city of Adelaide to the beachside suburb of Glenelg. [cite book|title=2003 Adelaide Street Directory, 41st Edition |publisher=UBD (A Division of Universal Press Pty Ltd) |year=2003 |isbn=0-7319-1441-4]

The road gained its current name in honour of the contribution of the ANZACs (Australian and New Zealand soldiers) in World War I. The road was first named "Adelaide Road" as it was the road from the first governors landing site to the proposed location of Adelaide.

The highway is serviced by a 15 minute Go Zone, serviced by the 262, 263 and 265 buses.

Under the works, both routes will be grade-separated, with South Road proceeding through an underpass with bi-directional exits onto Anzac Highway. Construction began in October 2007, and the underpass is due to open in late 2009.
