Design
The location of corridor proclamation was influenced by the Hobart Area Transportation Study. Additional land needed to be proclaimed for the purpose of providing a grade separated interchange after the recommendations put forth by the Kingston and Environs Transport Study. The northern terminus of the bypass is south of the Kingston Interchange and located on the western side of the existing Channel Highway. The southern terminus of the bypass shares a new roundabout with Algona Road. The roundabout is the largest in Tasmania. To allow for the future duplication of the Highway and provide an alignment consistent with the adjoining Southern Outlet the geometric alignment of the Bypass has been Designed to 100 km/h speed limit. It is expected that the posted speed limit on the bypass will be 80 km/h.
