The Tasmanian Government recently conducted a consultation regarding a upgrade to the South Arm Highway.
Plans to upgrade the highway (Pass Road to Acton Road) and the Acton Road intersection near Lauderdale Primary School, began in 2020.
A community consultation was held in 2024 and the results of this have been published on the Department of State Growth website.
Once the two upgrades are fully completed, they will provide:
- safer intersections and wider lanes
- bike paths
- parkland
- better bus stops
- safer walking paths and crossings
- more predictable travel times.
