The Browns Road reconstruction project in Kingston is set to move to Phase Two on Sunday, 29 March following the completion of the temporary access lane from Browns Road on to the Southern Outlet.
Mayor Paula Wriedt said the traffic management installation for Phase Two would require closing the left-hand southbound Kingston slip-lane and access to the Huon Highway roundabout on the Southern Outlet for one day.
“Road users travelling to Kingston or the Huon Valley will need to detour to the Summerleas Road roundabout (KFC/McDonalds) on Sunday, 29 March while the new traffic management plan is installed.
“The Huonville lane to the Huon Highway roundabout will reopen on Monday, 30 March as the project move into Phase 2, which is expected to run for approximately four months.
“Browns Road reconstruction area runs from the Channel Highway up to 32 Browns Road (Australia Post depot), and will become one‑way uphill to allow for a safe worksite.
“To allow traffic from Firthside and Browns Road to travel to Kingston and further south, the left‑hand southbound Kingston slip lane on the Southern Outlet will remain closed as it will be used for the temporary access lane.
“Some Metro and Tassielink bus services will be affected.
“The updated bus information can be found on the www.transport.tas.gov.au website, with a link also on Council’s Browns Road webpage, which will provide updates on the project as it progresses.
“Thank you to the community for your patience while these essential works are carried out,” Cr Wriedt said.
