Huon, South Arm, and Lyell Highway Bus Stop Accessibility Upgrade

About the project

The Bus Stop Upgrade Program will improve access to bus travel for people with disabilities, the elderly, and those with different transport needs.

We are developing designs for 43 bus stop upgrades across priority locations on the Huon Highway, South Arm Road, and Lyell Highway, including all-weather shelters and design features that offer better accessibility.

The bus stop sites were chosen for upgrades based on community feedback and their locations in busy areas.

Timing

Construction at the bus stops on the Huon Highway was completed in March 2026.

Construction at the bus stops on the Lyell Highway was recently completed in June 2026.

The upgrades to the bus stops on South Arm Road will be the next to begin, with 12 bus stops scheduled to be upgraded in Howrah, Rokeby, Sandford and South Arm. Construction will begin in July and is expected to be completed in November 2026. Information about the location and impact of the bus stop upgrades can be found below.
