Kingston Bypass Duplication and Algona Roundabout Upgrade

This project includes the Algona Road Roundabout intersection with the Channel Highway through to the Groningen Road overpass, including the intersections with Summerleas Road and the Huon Highway.

About the project

The project is currently in the development stage, which includes investigations to help us create a detailed design.

Once a detailed design is complete the project will move into construction, which should be in 2024.

By the time it is completed, the project will deliver:

• a grade separated bypass of the Algona Road Roundabout
• full duplication of the Kingston Bypass between Algona Road and the Southern Outlet
• a shared use path connecting Huntingfield Avenue to Hollyhock Drive
• pedestrian crossings/connections
• cycling paths connections/crossings.

The benefits of the project to the community include:

• enhanced road safety for all road users
• improved travel time reliability.

Timing

Construction is expected to start in 2024.
