The Tasmanian Liberal Government is continuing to deliver major infrastructure projects to benefit Tasmanians and stimulate the economy.
Our Richmond Road Masterplan is on track, with the new Cambridge Link Road open today.
This link road connects Richmond Road to the Tasman Highway Acton Interchange, providing a more efficient route that avoids Cambridge Village and the busy junction of Richmond and Cambridge Road.
Importantly, it provides safer and more efficient travel for all road users.
Richmond Road is an important route for daily commuters, agricultural and commercial traffic, and is also popular with visitors and cyclists.
The Richmond Road Masterplan is being delivered in eight sections and will provide a safer and more consistent road environment along the 10.6-kilometre stretch from Cambridge to Richmond.
The Masterplan includes wider lanes, sealed shoulders, improved road alignment, junction upgrades and slow vehicle turnouts.
Planning for the final stages in underway for upgrades on two sections of Richmond Road, between Malcolms Hut Road and Grasstree Hill intersection. Construction is expected to begin later this year.
The Tasmanian Liberal Government is delivering our largest ever infrastructure plan, and we will continue to invest in projects that will boost the economy and support jobs for Tasmanians, as we recover and rebuild.
