Tenders called for East Derwent Highway safety improvements

The Tasmanian Government is investing in the infrastructure we need to drive economic growth and create jobs.

Tenders will be called on 21 November 2015 for safety improvements on the East Derwent Highway to create a roundabout at the junction of Cove Hill Road at Bridgewater.

The $2.8 million project is funded through the Tasmanian Government and Brighton Council.

These works will improve safety at two intersections where Cove Hill Road and Green Point Road meet the East Derwent Highway, both of which have high crash rates.

The old link road from East Derwent Highway to Green Point Road will be closed, and a new link road will connect to a roundabout at the junction of Cove Hill Road and East Derwent Highway.

These works will improve safety and traffic flow by allowing traffic from Cove Hill Road to safely access Green Point Road using the roundabout.

The Tasmanian Government is committed to providing efficient road infrastructure that is as safe as reasonably possible, that supports economic growth, and enhances the travelling experience for road users.
