Roundabout interchange in Tasmania, Australia

[42°58′13.91″S 147°18′34.78″E / 42.9705306°S 147.3096611°E / -42.9705306; 147.3096611](https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=Kingston_Interchange&params=42_58_13.91_S_147_18_34.78_E_) The **Kingston Interchange** is a hybrid four way interchange incorporating a [roundabout](/source/Roundabout_interchange) and elements of a [trumpet interchange](/source/Trumpet_interchange). It connects the [Southern Outlet](/source/Southern_Outlet%2C_Hobart) with the [Huon Highway](/source/Huon_Highway) and the [Channel Highway](/source/Channel_Highway) at [Kingston](/source/Kingston%2C_Tasmania), within the greater area of [Hobart](/source/Hobart), [Tasmania](/source/Tasmania), Australia.

In 2006, the Kingston Interchange was upgraded to address safety problems associated with right-turn movements at the interchange.[1] The interchange modifications included:

- Replacement of the existing [T junction](/source/T_junction) of the Southern Outlet south bound [off ramp](/source/Off_ramp) and the Huon Highway with a [roundabout](/source/Roundabout)

- Provide a new [on ramp](/source/On_ramp) for Kingston to Hobart traffic

- Provide a new on ramp for Kingston to [Margate](/source/Margate%2C_Tasmania) traffic

The [Department of Infrastructure, Energy & Resources](/source/Department_of_Infrastructure%2C_Energy_%26_Resources) also upgraded the interchange with the intention of providing a dual carriage highway south of the interchange some time in the future as part of the [Kingston Bypass](/source/Kingston_Bypass).[1]
