About the project

We have upgraded the Midland Highway between Breadalbane and Kings Meadows Interchange (Launceston bound).

About the Freight Capacity Upgrade Program

The Australian and Tasmanian Governments have committed combined funding of $100 million to upgrade key freight routes under the Tasmanian Government’s Freight Capacity Upgrade Program (FCUP).

These works are being completed as part of FCUP, jointly funded by the Australian and Tasmanian governments.

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.
