C815 is a short unsealed connector in northern Tasmania, linking Bridport Main Rd (B82) with Industry Rd (C814). It is currently only marked at the southern end, making it a one-hit wonder. Apart from connecting the dots, so to speak, it appears serve little purpose other than providing locals between Lefroy and Pipers River with a shorter route to Launceston via C814 and C809.
