Cormiston Creek Bridge

About the project

We will be strengthening the Legana-bound side of Cormiston Creek Bridge on the West Tamar Highway in Riverside.

Timing

The work will take place from  Monday, 8 December 2025 to late February 2026, weather permitting.

We will be working underneath the bridge between 6:00 am and 3:00 pm, Monday to Friday.

Speed limit

The project involves the application of strengthening materials that require lower vibrations from vehicles crossing the bridge.

The speed limit through the project site (Legana-bound) will be reduced to 60 km/hr at all times throughout the project

The success of the project is dependent on road users keeping to the lowered speed limit while the strengthening materials do their job, even outside work hours.

About the Freight Capacity Upgrade Program

The Australian and Tasmanian Governments have committed combined funding of $100 million to upgrade key freight routes under the Tasmanian Government’s Freight Capacity Upgrade Program (FCUP).

These works are being completed as part of FCUP, jointly funded by the Australian and Tasmanian governments.

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.
