Bass Highway - South of Parramatta Creek
We will be strengthening and repairing the Bass Highway south of Parramatta Creek.
We are strengthening bridges and roads around Tasmania to make sure they stay safe and efficient for heavy vehicles and the broader community under the Freight Capacity Upgrade Program (FCUP).
About the project
We have identified a section of the Bass Highway that requires repair and strengthening works.
The site will cover 760m of the Bass Highway, South of Parramatta Creek.
Timing
Work began Monday 5 February 2024. We are working between 7:00 am and 6:00 pm Monday to Friday, and should be finished by late April, weather permitting.
Traffic changes
There will be some temporary traffic changes to ensure workers and road users are safe, including lane closures and reduced speed limits.
Please allow about 15 minutes extra travel time during this work.
Please follow the directions of traffic controllers and signs and keep to speed limits.
About the Freight Capacity Upgrade Program
These works are being completed as part of FCUP, jointly funded by the Australian and Tasmanian governments.
FCUP supports the productivity of freight vehicles by improving the roads and bridges they travel on day to day.
Repairing and strengthening these sections of road will:
- improve freight productivity
- improve efficiency and network reliability
- improve road safety for all road users
- reduce maintenance costs.
