Huon Road safety improvements for mountain cyclists

The City of Hobart has further improved road safety on Huon Road for cyclists, motorbike riders, motorists and local residents by shoulder sealing a 350 metre section of the road.

Huon Road is a popular route for road cyclists making their way up into the foothills of Wellington Park and for mountain bike riders wishing to access bushland mountain bike tracks managed by the City of Hobart.

This project has made this section of Huon Road safer for cyclists and motorbike riders by sealing gravel shoulder edges, and will give other vehicles more space to safely overtake cyclists heading uphill.

It also builds on roadworks completed in August 2021 further up Huon Road that created safer road conditions by sealing road shoulders and creating a section of separated cycle lanes.

This project was funded by the City of Hobart and the Australian Government's Black Spot Program.
