ROAD CLOSURES

In 2026, the stars of Australian cycling return to our roads in what is set to be another spectacular showcase of lutruwita/Tasmania.

This inevitably comes with a number of road closures and we appreciate the cooperation and patience of all residents and the local community across all three days of cycling.

Further details on specific traffic conditions can be found below.
