Final upgrade designs for the South Arm Road and Acton Road junction in Lauderdale, Tasmania have been released, marking a large milestone for the Rokeby Road – South Arm Road Upgrades project.
With a $44 million commitment from the Federal Government and $11 million from the Tasmanian Government, the project aims to improve safety and connectivity for the growing Eastern Shore communities.
Project works will include the installation of traffic signals at the South Arm Road and Acton Road intersection and an upgrade to pedestrian facilities.
The design was finalised following community consultation on the initial designs in February this year.

Kerry Vincent, Minister for Infrastructure and Transport for the Tasmanian Government, said the works will improve safety and connectivity.
“Finalising the designs for the South Arm Road and Acton Road intersection is a key step in progressing this project and delivering for Tasmania,” he said.
“These upgrades will significantly improve safety for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians, while easing congestion and improving travel times for residents and commuters.
