Brighton Transport Projects

The Brighton Bypass Projects are being undertaken for the Tasmanian Government’s Department of Infrastructure, Energy and Resources (DIER) and involve upgrading of the Midland Highway to the north of Hobart. This includes the provision of an upgraded link between the East Derwent Highway at Bridgewater and the existing highway north of Pontville. The Brighton Bypass has been split into two sections, of which GHD is responsible for the design of the Northern Section project.

The Northern Section includes 4.8 km of new dual carriageway and 1.3 km of new two lane, two way highway, and includes a major interchange at Tea Tree Road and a roundabout at the existing Midland Highway. Structural works include a major new bridge over the Jordan River and smaller bridges over the Bagdad Rivulet and the Strathallan Rivulet a well as the structures associated with the interchange.

The new AUD $9 million high-speed facillity, located in the Hobart Technopark, was designed by GHD, which provided the architectural detailing, structural and geotechnical engineering, all building services engineering, planning, environmental and traffic assessments. The EGO Group and Cardno Low and Hooke also contributed to the design.

Most notably, the new equipment allows the Hobart Mercury to output its own colour printing for the first time, avoiding the current need to fly in colour work overnight from Melbourne.
