Timing

We expect construction to commence in late 2025. Once we have confirmed the tender schedule, we will let you know.

About the Freight Capacity Upgrade Program

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.

Funding

The Australian and Tasmanian Governments have committed combined funding of $100 million towards the FCUP program.
