Liawenee Canal Bridge
We are strengthening bridges around Tasmania to make sure they stay safe and efficient for heavy vehicles and the broader community.
About the project
We will be repairing and strengthening Liawenee Canal Bridge, Highland Lakes Road.
Timing
This work will begin in early February 2026, and we plan to complete the project by mid-July 2026.
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 on the bridge, the speed limit over the bridge itself will be reduced to 20 km/hr at all times.

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