42°58′13.91″S 147°18′34.78″E / 42.9705306°S 147.3096611°E The Kingston Interchange is a hybrid four way interchange incorporating a roundabout and elements of a trumpet interchange. It connects the Southern Outlet with the Huon Highway and the Channel Highway at Kingston, within the greater area of Hobart, Tasmania.
The Kingston Interchange has recently been upgraded to address safety problems associated with right-turn movements at the interchange.[1] The interchange modifications included:
- Replacement of the existing T junction of the Southern Outlet south bound off-ramp and the Huon Highway with a roundabout
- Provide a new on-ramp for Kingston to Hobart Traffic
- Provide a new on-ramp for Kingston to Margate Traffic
The Department of Infrastructure, Energy and Resources also upgraded the interchange with the intention of providing a dual-carriage highway south of the interchange some time in the future[1] (see Kingston Bypass).
