Brooker Highway
Encyclopedia
The Brooker Highway is a highway
in the State of Tasmania
, Australia
. Also known as the Northern Outlet, the highway is the major arterial route
through Hobart's northern suburbs and is Hobart's major road connection to the cities and towns of Northern Tasmania. It is a part of the National Highway
Network and is one of Tasmania's busiest highways.
The Brooker Highway runs approximately 17 km north from the CBD, through the northern suburbs of Hobart
, and through the City of Glenorchy
, bypassing commercial and industrial centres along the original Main Road. It is a four lane (dual-carriageway) highway, and apart from the Domain Highway
junction, only the northern sections of the highway have grade separated
junctions. The major at-grade
junctions are controlled by traffic light
and roundabout
intersections.
The original Brooker Avenue was constructed in 1961 as a 2 lane road from the end of Liverpool Street to Elwick Road. In 1965, the Hobart Area Transportation Study
was released and entailed large development plans for the Brooker Highway. By 1968 the road had been duplicated and works reached Berriedale
. In 1977 the highway was further extended, taking the road to the Claremont
Link Road. By 1983 the highway that stands today was complete through to Granton and the Bridgewater bridge.
The Brooker Highway was built as a replacement to the original Midland Highway route between Hobart city and Granton
, which passed along Elizabeth Street
, New Town Road
and Main Road, through the built up areas of New Town
, Moonah
, Glenorchy
, Rosetta, Montrose, Claremont and Berriedale.
This was the first major highway construction in the Hobart City region, and was named the Brooker Highway, after the Minister for Transport at the time of the conception of the project, Edward Brooker
(between Davey Street and Cleary's Gates at the top of the ridge, the highway is also known as "Brooker Avenue").
Eastern Outlet
(Tasman Highway),
Davey Street
and Macquarie Street
. The Tasman Highway heads east over the Tasman Bridge
, past the Airport
and eventually leads to the east coast of the state, while Davey Street leads towards the Southern Outlet
, which in turn heads south towards Kingston
and Huonville
(Davey and Macquarie are one-way streets - Davey Street flows south-west, and Macquarie Street flows north-east through the CBD).
Apart from the connection to Davey and Macquarie Streets, the major intersection with streets in the CBD is the three-lane roundabout at the north-east end of Liverpool Street. Because it was built in close proximity to the main railway station at the time, the roundabout was, and continues to be, called the "Railway Roundabout". The sunken garden in the centre of the roundabout functions as a pedestrian thoroughfare, with under-road tunnels connecting to the two sides of Liverpool Street, the original site of the railway station to the north-east, and to the Domain and the suburb of The Glebe to the north-west. The roundabout was originally just an un-controlled intersection, but with the gradual increase in traffic, particularly from the eastern shore of the Derwent, it was often in grid-lock at peak travel times. Traffic lights were introduced and alleviated the situation, and later construction of the direct links from the Tasman Bridge to Davey and Macquarie Streets further relieved the pressure. Other streets from the CBD provide access to the highway, but for much of its length to the city boundary at Risdon Road it is limited access road.
Through the City of Glenorchy the highway has large multi-lane intersections, at Risdon Road, Elwick Road and Derwent Park Road. The highway is in a reasonable condition for its age, and experiences congestion for only a few hours a day.
Trees line the middle nature strip for several kilometres, and fencing prevents pedestrian access at various points.
The Highway makes its way past The Domain
, Cornelian Bay Hockey Grounds, Rugby Park, The Royal Hobart Showgrounds
, Tattersalls Park
and the Derwent Entertainment Centre
.
At the northern end (at Granton
) it connects to the
Midland Highway (which heads north towards Launceston
) and the
Lyell Highway
(which takes motorists towards the west coast
).
between Risdon Road and Clearys Gates Road. These are over 40 years old and were the first lights on the Highway, which sparked some concern from the Hobart City Council
. They argue that the light poles are in good condition and are a significant feature of the Brooker Highway entrance to Hobart. While the Hobart City Council supports the replacement, they have written to Infrastructure Minister Jim Cox asking him to consider retaining the ornate arms on modern pole bases.
The Department of Infrastructure, Energy and Resources
proposes to re-align the Elwick Road
and Goodwood Road
exits, reducing confusion and the number of traffic lights. The nearby Goodwood
roundabout will also be replaced with traffic lights. The Tasmanian Government has also revealed they are currently planning to upgrade the interchange at the Domain Highway
to improve access and travel flows for passenger and freight. This includes a capacity expansion to 6 lanes from the Domain Highway to Risdon Road.
Recently the government came under pressure from the community to improve pedestrian access over the highway at Goodwood
and eliminate the stairs primarily for the benefit of the elderly and handicapped.
