Algona Road is a major link road, connecting the residents of Blackmans Bay to Kingston in Southern Tasmania, Australia. The road was constructed in 1986 as a two lane road, with provision for a second carriageway when needed.[1] A roundabout was installed on the junction with the Channel Highway in 1993 to address safety issues. The proposed Kingston Bypass will connect Algona Road to the Southern Outlet and provide a quicker route to the City of Hobart.[1]
