Flood Road closed for Huon Link Road works – delays expected

Flood Road in Huonville will be closed to traffic from Monday 29 January 2024 until the end of March.

The closure of Flood Road means all traffic will be diverted to the Esplanade/Main Street intersection.

Please see the map to the right. Delays are expected.

The Department of State Growth – not Council – is managing the road works, as part of the Huon Link Road build.

You can also contact State Growth Stakeholder and Community Engagement Consultants Louella Dwyer on 0491 696 701 or Lorri Teepa on 0491 050 140.

A temporary access road will be installed to allow local residents and emergency vehicles to cross Skinners Creek in an emergency.

Skinners Creek Walking Track partial closure

The Flood Road entrance to Skinners Creek walking track in Huonville will also be closed from Monday 29 January 2024.

Please see the map below, showing the affected part of the track.

The closure is for the safety of pedestrians during the closure of Flood Road and associated Skinners Creek Bridge works.

We thank you for your patience.

Huon Link Road project

The Huon Link Road is a joint project, funded by the Tasmanian and Australian Governments.

The new bypass is designed to reduce congestion and improve safety in the Huonville town centre.

This will occur by diverting traffic to and from Cygnet, away from Main Street.
