Coal Creek Bridge

About the project

We will be repairing and strengthening Coal Creek Bridge, on the Sheffield Main Road.

Timing

We are replacing the Coal Creek Bridge on Sheffield Road in Acacia Hills from Thursday, 13 November 2025 to Friday, 24 April 2026, between 7:00 am and 6:00 pm.

A single-lane bypass will be in place from Monday, 12 January 2026 to Friday, 24 April 2026, weather permitting. A reduced speed limit will be in place at all times during the work. Please allow up to 15 minutes extra travel time and follow the instructions of traffic controllers and signage.

The bypass will be a single lane, and traffic lights will be used while the bypass is in place.

Funding

The Australian and Tasmanian Governments have committed combined funding of $100 million towards the FCUP program.

About the Freight Capacity Upgrade Program

These works are being completed as part of Tasmanian Government’s Freight Capacity Upgrade Program (FCUP).

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
