The Department of State Growth will soon start work on the Lyell Highway, south of Butlers Gorge Road. From Monday, 10 November 2025, works will take place between 7:00 am and 5:00 pm Monday to Friday, and 7:00am to 4:00pm Saturdays as required. Motorists should allow up to 15 minutes extra travel time during this work.

Please note that Hydro Tasmania's upgrade works at Lake King William mean that Butlers Gorge Road remains closed weekdays from 7am – 5pm.
