Michael Ferguson,Minister for Infrastructure and Transport
The Hodgman majority Liberal Government is getting on with the job of delivering the infrastructure Tasmanians need now, and into the future.
Since coming to Government, infrastructure spending has increased by more than 230 per cent and we're not slowing down.
The Government is progressing work at a number of projects across the state, and bringing forward works such as Prossers Road and Waterhouse Road in the state's north as part of our $54.2 million State Roads Upgrades – Northern Region package.
The second stage of sealing is underway to finish strengthening and improving the condition and safety of the roads, with the first stage completed earlier this year.
Through bringing forward the combined $7.5 million projects to this financial year, we are ensuring these roads are completed by early 2020 for the community and visitors who use the roads.
The newly-sealed roads will make travel safer and improve travel times, as well as provide a consistent, all-weather road environment for motorists.
These upgrades have been prioritised to help facilitate further development and accommodate the expected future growth of northern Tasmania.
