Bagdad Bypass
The Bagdad Bypass was a proposed bypass of the Midland Highway, through Bagdad, Tasmania. The road was proposed to initially constructed as a two-lane highway with extra earthworks undertaken to facilitate future duplication of the bypass. The road was proposed be constructed as a grade separated highway and was designed to seamlessly connect to the Brighton Bypass.

In 2010, the Department of Infrastructure, Energy & Resources released two potential alignments for public comment. Neither design existed wholly within the existing proclaimed corridor and ultimately, a combination of the two designs was chosen to minimize intrusion into townships while at the same time keep construction costs to a minimum by diverting the future highway away from areas that would require significant earthworks.

In 2017, a central turning lane through Baghdad was completed instead.

Department of Infrastructure, Energy and Resources
The Department of Infrastructure, Energy and Resources (DIER) was the former name of the Tasmanian Government Department of State Growth. It reported to several ministers including Jim Cox and Michael Aird.

The Executive Group (Senior Management Team) was made up of the Secretary, Deputy Secretaries, and the General Manager Corporate Services. Each Division of DIER had responsibilities for infrastructure for social and economic development in Tasmania.
