The works will include: • Vegetation clearing from the rock face next to the Tasman Highway and between the two causeways. • Modifications to the existing roundabout. • Closure of Raynors Road, which will become a cul de sac. Access to Fenton Street removed. • Clearing and grubbing. • Temporary road widening and traffic management enabling works. • The installation of road safety barriers and adjustments to line marking. • Service relocation works, including trenching. • Excavation of approximately 9 metres of rock face adjacent to the Tasman Highway on the northern side. Removing the rock will allow for the construction of two new lanes on the highway and additional slip lanes into Penna Road. • Penna Road will be widened where it intersects with the Tasman Highway to allow for the new slip lanes. • Two concrete retaining walls will be constructed, one on the eastern side and one on the western side of the Tasman Highway/ Penna Road intersection. Rock bolts will be drilled into the rock face to anchor the new retaining walls. • Realignment and installation of stormwater, sewer, water, power and NBN networks. • Construction of new road pavement. • Construction of a new eastbound bus stop. The route along the Tasman Highway will remain unchanged during this phase of the project as the entirety of the works will take place outside the current Tasman Highway alignment. A reduced speed limit will be in place during work hours. Between 4 January 2021 and 2 February 2021, occasional lane closures and up to 15 minutes delay should be expected outside peak travel periods to allow for tree removal and installation of roadside barriers. Please keep to speed limits and follow the directions of traffic controllers and signs Barriers and screens will be used to minimise the impacts of dust and keep debris and rock fragments away from the road.

YOUNG GUN REVS AHEAD

WILLIAM Thornbury of Acton Park revved his engine to beat many people his senior to win the Tasmanian A Grade Moto Trial Title at Melrose in late 2020. Will, who just turned 16, won the title at the age of 15 over seven trials across the year. Will said the titles were one of the highest levels of competition in the state and the next youngest competitor was aged in the mid-20s. “I was pretty stoked and I was in disbelief when my name came out at presentations,” he said. “I’ve previously won a C Grade Championship and a C+ Championship, as well as a second in B Grade – I’ve now won A Grade.”
