Northern Roads Package

Stage one

Northern Roads Package Stage One is a series of road upgrades including road widening, shoulder sealing and surface upgrades, planned for key inter-regional freight linkages through the Batman Highway, Birralee Road, and Frankford Road.

Widening and sealing shoulders provides a safe and efficient road and allows additional space for drivers to regain control, reducing road crashes.

Upgrades have been identified in the following locations:

• Batman Highway, east of Batman Bridge (complete)
• Batman Highway, west of Batman Bridge (underway)
• Birralee Road, Roxford Avenue to Brushy Rivulet (underway)
• Birralee Road, Brushy Rivulet to Priestleys Lane (design)
• Birralee Road, Priestleys Lane to Frankford Road junction (design)
• Frankford Road, Birralee Road junction to Stony Brook, Exeter (design)

Stage Two

Stage Two of the Northern Roads Package will include upgrades on the East Tamar Highway, West Tamar Highway and Bass Highway. This will be in addition to other projects currently underway on the Bass Highway.

The project will improve the safety of these highways for all road users.

We are currently doing planning work to look at what specific projects will be included under Stage Two of the Northern Roads Package. Part of that planning work includes road improvement strategies on the East Tamar Highway - Launceston to Georgetown, West Tamar Highway - Launceston to Beauty Point, and Bass Highway -  Launceston to Devonport.
