About the project

We will be repairing and strengthening the Bass Highway Rail Underpass.

Timing

This project is currently in the design phase. When the project progresses to construction, we will let you know.

About the Freight Capacity Upgrade Program

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.
