Bass Highway - Leith Intersection Upgrade
The Leith Intersection Upgrade Project will bring the Bass Highway intersections at Braddons Lookout Road and Short Street to contemporary design standards for Tasmanian roads.
The Department of State Growth has completed upgrades to the Bass Highway at Leith at the Short Street and Braddons Lookout Road intersections.
The upgrades align with contemporary road standards by separating right-turning traffic and improving visibility for vehicles turning right on to the Bass Highway.
The completed upgrades include:
- chevron line marking to separate turning traffic (turning left into Braddons Lookout Road or Short Street) from Bass Highway traffic
- a median island to separate right turning traffic into and out of Braddons Lookout Road or Short Street, from Bass Highway traffic
- minor widening of the highway at the junctions, to accommodate the chevron line-marking and installation of median island
Lighting
We will be installing street lighting on the Bass Highway in Leith from Monday, 18 March 2024 to Tuesday, 30 April 2024, weather permitting.
