Leslie Station Creek Bridge
We are strengthening bridges around Tasmania to make sure they stay safe and efficient for heavy vehicles and the broader community.
About the project
We will be repairing and strengthening Leslie Station Creek Bridge on the Murchison Highway.
Timing
We will be working between Monday, 2 February 2026 and Tuesday, 31 March 2026, weather permitting.
We will be working underneath the bridge between 7:00 am and 5:00 pm Monday to Friday.
The project involves the application of strengthening materials that require lower vibrations from vehicles crossing the bridge.
Lowered speed limit
The speed limit through the project site will be reduced to 40 km/hr during work hours, however, after application of the strengthening materials, the speed limit over the bridge itself will be reduced to 20 km/hr at all times.
The success of the project is dependent on road users adhering to the speed limit while the strengthening materials do their job, even outside work hours.
About the Freight Capacity Upgrade Program
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.
Funding
The Australian and Tasmanian Governments have committed combined funding of $100 million towards the FCUP program.
