Huon, South Arm, and Lyell Highway Bus Stop Accessibility Upgrade
This project will improve the accessibility of busy bus stops along three highways.
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
Bus stop locations on the Huon Highway are nearing completion, with works expected to be completed by early March 2026.
The upgrades to the bus stops on the Lyell Highway will be the next to begin, with works starting in Sorell Creek on Tuesday, 3 March 2026.
Information about the location and impact of the bus stop upgrades can be found below.
We will inform the relevant communities of our working hours when we are working nearby as we progress from site to site.
