Tasman Bridge

The Tasman Bridge and the approach roads including slip lanes and on/off ramps create barriers for people travelling by bicycle, mobility scooter or on foot between the western and eastern shores of Hobart.  $130M has been promised to make safety improvements to the bridge including strengthening the structure, raising the height of railings and widening the paths. The State Government has abandoned plans to widen the paths or address the main safety issue for riders which is getting handlebars caught in the railings and crashing. Cycling South has written to the Minister for Transport and Minister for Infrastructure requesting the pathways be widened 600-800mm.
