Premier Lara Giddings speaks at the Bridgewater Civic Centre after the opening of the Brighton Bypass on Monday.
MOTORISTS travelling on the new Brighton Bypass have been urged to stick to the 80km/h speed limit or risk damaging their cars.
Tasmania Police said loose gravel on the road had already resulted in several broken windscreens.
The Department of Infrastructure, Energy and Resources has set the temporary limit to allow the road surface to settle.
"The speed reduction is also for the protection of wildlife in the area until they become more familiar with the new highway running through their natural habitat," Sergeant Penny Reardon said in a statement today.
"The road surface is continually being assessed and the speed limit will be increased as soon as it is deemed safe.
"At this stage, DIER anticipates increasing the 80km restriction by November 23."
She said the area would also have a "visible police presence" in the next few weeks.
The long-awaited $191 million Brighton Bypass opened to traffic on Monday – four months ahead of schedule.
The 9.6km stretch of road was designed to improve safety and travel time on the Midland Highway by diverting traffic away from Brighton and Pontville.
