The South Arm Highway is an urban motorway in the south of the Australian state of Tasmania.

As the Southern Outlet on the other side of the river also serves the South Arm Highway to the rush-hour traffic.
Course
The highway begins in the suburb of Mornington and leads to the southeast, past the suburb of Bellerive and on about Rokeby according Lauderdale at the Ralphs Bay. There it turns south and leads on the peninsula, by Sandford and along the eastern slopes of Mount Augustus to the Ralphs Bay around to South Arm and Opossum Bay finally to the end point.
In the area between Bellerive and Rokeby Rokeby Road means the road also.
Bypass Bellerive
A dual carriageway in this area has already been proposed in the Hobart Area Transportation Study of 1964, but it was built in the early 1980s. This new section of road begins at Tasman Highway in Mornington, extends over a large roundabout in Howrah and then comes back to the old route of the South Arm Highway. This ring road replaced the old road that ran through the suburbs Bellerive and Rosny. Originally, the entire highway was planned height freely, but at present is the only height- free connection of the Tasman Highway. Since 2009, the section between Shoreline Drive and Rokeby be converted into a four-lane dual carriageway. The two additional tracks were provided in the 1980s in transforming the circumvention of Bellerive, but not yet built.
