Sorell Southern Bypass
A transport corridor was identified and protected for the bypass of Sorell in the 1970s. It forms part of the current Master Plan for the Sorell Township.
The southern bypass of Sorell between the Tasman Highway near Giblin Drive and the Arthur Highway near Nugent Road. The Bypass allows Southern Beaches and Tasman Peninsula traffic to avoid driving through Sorell to connect with the Arthur Highway.
There is a roundabout at the Giblin Drive end to facilitate traffic movement to both Sorell and towards the causeway and a roundabout at the Tasman Highway near Nugent Road to facilitate the movement of vehicles into Sorell.
Sorell Southern Bypass opened in 2022
The 2 km road runs between the Tasman Highway on the southern side of Sorell and the Arthur Highway near Nugent Road, with roundabouts at each end to help keep traffic moving and a speed limit of 80km/hr.
