The Kingston Interchange has recently been upgraded to address safety problems associated with right-turn movements at the interchange. 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 (see Kingston Bypass).
Famous quotes containing the word interchange:
“The press and politicians. A delicate relationship. Too close, and danger ensues. Too far apart and democracy itself cannot function without the essential exchange of information. Creative leaks, a discreet lunch, interchange in the Lobby, the art of the unattributable telephone call, late at night.”
—Howard Brenton (b. 1942)
