The community’s views are being sought on planned improvements to the Kingston Bypass, which includes upgrading the Algona Road roundabout to a grade separated interchange.
The Tasmanian Government has committed to improving traffic flows and safety along the Kingston Bypass, Channel Highway and at Algona Road.
We are looking at improvements for a 3.5-kilometre section of the Kingston Bypass from Algona Road to the Groningen Road overpass, including connections with Summerleas Road and the Huon Highway.
Improvements include duplicating the Kingston Bypass to provide two traffic lanes in each direction and upgrading the Algona Road interchange to be fully grade separated and to remove the current roundabout.
The first phase of this project is to seek information and feedback from the public to help us to identify and shortlist options.
You are invited to have your say on issues that are important to you on this section of road, such as road safety, public transport, walking and cycling, travel times and the environment.
Feedback can be provided online via an interactive map on the Transport website:

Information will also be displayed on Kingborough Council noticeboards at Channel Court, Kingston Beach Hall, Blackmans Bay Hall, Kingborough Community Hub and Civic Centre noticeboards.
Public consultation is open from Wednesday, 1 December until Tuesday, 21 December 2021.
