Basin Road/Denison Road Intersection Upgrade

The City of Launceston is upgrading the intersection of Basin Road and Denison Road, near West Launceston Primary School. This project involves constructing a raised intersection to reduce traffic speeds and enhance safety at the school crossings. 

The upgrade is jointly funded by the Department of State Growth's Vulnerable Road User Program and the City of Launceston. 

The upcoming works include: 

  • Construct a new raised safety platform 
  • Construct new access ramps 
  • Apply new road markings 
  • Install new signage. 

Construction will be undertaken by B31 Civil on behalf of City of Launceston.

 Construction Start Date:    Construction Completion:    General Working Hours:  
 Tuesday, 15 April 2025*  Friday, 25 April 2025*
  • Monday to Friday 7am to 5pm 
  • Saturday 7am to 5pm as required 
  • Sunday emergency works only.

* Please note that scheduling may change due to unforeseen circumstances or weather conditions.

The works are scheduled to be complete during the Term 1 school holidays. We will aim to complete any remaining activities outside of school drop-off and pick-up times. 

During construction, changed traffic conditions will be necessary to allow the works to be completed safely and efficiently. This will include a reduced 40km/h speed limit through the work zone. A reminder to take care while moving through the area and follow traffic management to ensure your safety and the safety of contractors.
