Motorists are advised that the Motorcycle Riders Association Annual Toy Run is on again this weekend.

The ride starts at 2.30pm on Saturday 3 December from the Derwent Entertainment Centre and finishes at Franklin Wharf at around 3.30pm.  Road closures will commence from about 2pm.

Roads affected are:

• Brooker Highway to southbound traffic, between the Berridale on ramp (Strathaven Drive) and Davey Street, Hobart
• Tasman Highway (bridge off ramp) to southbound traffic at McVilley Drive
• Davey Street between the Tasman Highway and Murray Street

Northbound traffic traveling on the Brooker Highway won’t be affected, however vehicles will not be permitted to cross the route during the event.

The road closures will occur only when participants are on or approaching that section of roadway.

Police will be in attendance to manage traffic and will stop or direct traffic away from the event route.

The Hobart waterfront bordered by Davey Street, Salamanca Place, Castray Esplanade and Elizabeth Street will be closed to vehicular traffic from 2pm until 5pm.

Motorists should expect delays and where possible plan to leave earlier or identify an alternative route, to ensure they get to their destination on time.
