Catos Creek Bridge

About the project

We will be repairing and strengthening Catos Creek Bridge, Huon Valley.

Timing

We will begin working on the Catos Creek Bridge between Monday, 2 February 2026 and mid-July 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.

Traffic impacts

The speed limit through the project site will be reduced to 60 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 following the speed limit while the strengthening materials do their job, even outside work hours.

About the Freight Capacity Upgrade Program

These works are being completed as part of Tasmanian Government’s Freight Capacity Upgrade Program (FCUP).

The Australian and Tasmanian Governments have committed combined funding of $100 million towards the FCUP 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.
