Mellifont Street is now open

Mellifont Street was re-opened to traffic on the afternoon of Saturday 17 March.

There are still some minor works to be completed over the coming weeks, but they will not require any further road closures. The remaining works will be undertaken outside of peak commuter times, and will require only minor traffic control activities.

About the project

It was identified that the steep section of Mellifont Street had quickly deteriorated, and vehicles were struggling in wet conditions.

In February, The City of Hobart commenced upgrade works on Mellifont Street to make it safer for road users. These works will make the street safer for road users and pedestrians heading into the wet Autumn/Winter period.
