Route

The Southern Outlet starts at its junction with Davey Street and Macquarie Street in Hobart. The Highway Bypasses South Hobart and heads south into the mountainous terrain of Mt Nelson, Tasmania. On the exception Of the Davey/Macquarie intersection the Highway is fully grade separated and travels through bushland for the majority of its length. The Highway ends in Kingston, at the Kingston Interchange.

History

The Hobart Transportation study of 1964 indicated the need for a transport corridor from Hobart to Kingston. The Southern Outlet was constructed in 1968 as a "super-2" expressway (single carriageway) and went from Kingston to meet up with the old Huon Highway at Grove.cite web | year = 2003 | url = http://www.ozroads.com.au/TAS/expressways/expressways.htm | title = Tasmanian Expressways | publisher = ozroads.com.au | accessdate = 2007-04-30] In 1985 the Outlet was upgraded to "dual-carriage way". The two lanes heading toward Hobart are separated from the southbound lanes because of the mountainous landscape the 'Outlet' goes through.
