  • Tasman Highway at Paradise Gorge Black Bridge To
    2001 (No. 2) _______________ PARLIAMENT OF TASMANIA _______________ PARLIAMENTARY STANDING COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC WORKS TASMAN HIGHWAY AT PARADISE GORGE BLACK BRIDGE TO ORFORD ______________ Presented to His Excellency the Governor pursuant to the provisions of the Public Works Committee Act 1914. ______________ MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY Mr Wing (Chairman) Mr Green Mr Harriss Mr Hidding Mr Kons 1 To His Excellency the Honourable Sir Guy Stephen Montague Green, Companion of the Order of Australia, Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, Governor in and over the State of Tasmania and its Dependencies in the Commonwealth of Australia. MAY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY The Committee has investigated the following proposal: - TASMAN HIGHWAY AT PARADISE GORGE – BLACK BRIDGE TO ORFORD and now has the honour to present the Report to Your Excellency in accordance with the Public Works Committee Act 1914. 1. INTRODUCTION This reference sought the approval of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Public Works for selective improvements to the Tasman Highway at Paradise Gorge – Black Bridge to Orford. 1.1 BACKGROUND The section of Tasman Highway through Paradise Gorge is noted for its spectacular setting. The road is located immediately adjacent to and south of the Prosser River and retained by substantial dry stone walls on the river side with the dolerite faces of the Gorge alongside and above the road, opposite the river. The Highway is also noted for its narrow, winding alignment through the Gorge due to these same topographic constraints. As the Tasman Highway has been progressively upgraded over the past 20 years or so, improvement works in the Gorge area have been put aside in preference to other projects due to the significant construction issues posed by the topography and the high costs of widening or realignment.
