Dorset - Road Upgrades

The completed Dorset Roads Package has delivered upgrades for the Tasman Highway with a focus on providing safe and efficient passing opportunities between Branxholm and Scottsdale.

These upgrades will improve road safety and provide more reliable travel times on the Tasman Highway between Branxholm and Scottsdale.

Works to improve the junction of the Tasman Highway and Carisbrook Lane (Legerwood junction) have also been completed as part of this project. These improvements include installation of a dedicated right turn lane from the Tasman Highway into Carisbrook Lane and pavement widening.

Community consultation was completed in April and May 2022, and the feedback received on the six proposed upgrades was considered during the concept design phase. Feedback has been summarised in our Consultation and Feedback Summary Report.
