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 will repair and strengthen approximately 800 metres of pavement on Lady Barron Main Road, South of Lackrana Road, on Flinders Island.

About the Freight Capacity Upgrade Program

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.
