The Sorell to Hobart Corridor Plan includes a staged approach to achieve a better level of service for all road users and manage demands on this vital corridor into the future.
The Plan is the result of extensive consultation carried out in 2018 with the community, local councils and other key stakeholders. It provides a vision for improved accessibility to the eastern metropolitan region of Greater Hobart.
The Corridor Plan includes a list of prioritised solutions, across four major themes:
The Sorell to Hobart Corridor Plan will be used as a basis for more detailed planning and cost estimation work for the identified solutions.
We are doing a study into the feasibility for an off-road cycleway on the south side of the Tasman Highway, between the Mornington Interchange (South Arm Highway) and the Tasman Bridge (Conara Road).
The study will help us come up with a preliminary design. The project is not currently funded, but when we have more information, we will talk with neighbouring landowners and the local community.
This plan complements a number of other projects that are part of the South East Traffic Solution (SETS), including replacing the Midway Point roundabout, duplication of the Tasman Highway between the airport and Sorell, and the Hobart Airport Interchange.
