Stage two of the project will divert heavy vehicles and highway traffic around the Perth towncentre, reduce traffic noise and congestion for the Perth community, and improve travel times along the Midland Highway, Federal Infrastructure and Transport Minister Michael McCormack said earlier this year.
The investment aims to continue the Midland Highway 10-year Action Plan, helping the state government achieve its targets to reduce serious injuries on Tasmanian roads to zero by 2050, and to increase investment in public infrastructure by 20 per cent in the next four years.
Stage one of the bypass – Breadalbane to Perth – was opened in about April this year.
