An Infrastructure Game Changer For UTas And Launceston

Wouldn’t it to be better if that $225M was spent on a bridge across the Tamar linking the UTas at Newnham to Riverside, Legana, West Tamar and via Ecclestone Road to Westbury and the NW Coast. 

The present bottleneck at Paterson Bridge over the Cataract Gorge and then the commonly gridlocked area around the edge of the CBD, would be avoided and a great number of transport and potential developments including the UTas at Newnham would be achieved. 

Now that would be a real infrastructure project and a significant game changer for Launceston’s expansion and Northern Tasmania in general.
