Traffic disruptions are expected on the Southern Outlet from tonight as work begins on a new transit lane connector between Davey and Macquarie Streets.
A service trench will be built at the intersection with Davey Street from Sunday evening to Friday morning.
The right-turning lane from Davey Street onto the Southern Outlet will be closed from 6:30pm to 6:30am each night, with a detour in place via Macquarie Street.
The left-turning lane from the Southern Outlet onto Davey Street will also be subject to lane closures, with detours via Macquarie Street necessary for those wanting to travel to South Hobart.
Kingston-bound traffic may experience some lane closures, with vehicles directed through city-bound Southern Outlet lanes near the Davey Street intersection for a short distance.
All lanes will be reopened during the day from 6:30am to 6:30pm.
“Traffic management and reduced speed limits will be in place during our working hours for the safety of workers and road users,” a State Growth spokesperson said.
“Traffic controllers will be on-site to guide road users through each section of impacted lanes.”
“Detours will also be available for pedestrians who may be impacted by some footpath closures in the area.”
Motorists are advised to allow up to 15 minutes of extra travel time.
