  • Installation of compliant safety barriers.
  • Upgrade the approaches to suit the new bridge where required. 

Contractors TasSpan have already commenced construction of the beams off site and will be due to begin demolition mid to late March.

The section of Oonah road between Guide Road and Quarry will be closed during these works.
