Route edit
The highway starts at the roundabout with Midland Highway at Bridgewater and heads south as a dual-lane, single carriageway road, connecting with the Bowen Bridge over the River Derwent, widening to a four-lane, dual-carriageway road through Risdon, narrowing again to a dual-lane, single-carriageway road through Geilston Bay, and then widening to a four-lane, single-carriageway road to eventually terminate at the Lindisfarne Interchange at Rose Bay, near the eastern side of the Tasman Bridge leading into central Hobart.
