Leven River 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 the Leven River Bridge on the Bass Highway under the Tasmanian Government’s Freight Capacity Upgrade Program (FCUP).
Timing
We expect construction to commence in February 2026.
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.
Funding
The Australian and Tasmanian Governments have committed combined funding of $100 million towards the FCUP program.
