The Kingston Bypass, is a proposed Southern Outlet extension that would see the bypassing of Kingston, Tasmania. The original concept was first mentioned in Hobart's Transportation study of 1964.[1] This study recommended the development of the Southern Outlet as the primary access route to Kingston and Huonville. This study also recommended that as part of the Southern Outlet, a bypass of Kingston be provided and that the future road connection should be provided between the Channel Highway south of Kingston and Blackmans Bay.[1] In 1983, a bypass corridor for the future Channel Highway was proclaimed. In 1986 Algona Road was opened as a 2 lane road. This road is the ideal road to connect the Kingston Bypass to Blackmans Bay as it originally was constructed for this type of task and has available space dedicated for a second carriageway.[1] The government has confirmed it has almost purchased enough land to construct the bypass.[2] The proclaimed bypass corridor runs from the Algona Road/Channel Highway Junction to the Southern Outlet.[1][2]
