New designs for higher safety barriers on Hobart's Tasman Bridge have been publicly released.

Warning: This article contains a reference to suicide

Once the upgrade works are complete, the bridge will have higher waterside and roadside barriers on both pathways.

A coroner's report released in July found there was an "immediate need" for the installation of safety barriers on the bridge, after a disproportionate number of deaths by suicide.
