madbung Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 (edited) Superfluous art work is such a wank...personally I'd rather look at an empty paddock and have cheaper tolls. Seriously I like roads to be roads not "conceptual experiences" what a waste of $$ and we're all paying for the privilege of admiring it. Fancy bridges-tunnels, hotels to nowhere, ect Grrrrrrr. A lasting legacy of how we were all Bracks'd. Nice Toll road though, It's just a shame it's not the freeway we've all waited 30+yrs for.

Rekin Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 drove past an overpass today. Eastlink traffic was moving slow and all lanes were blocked. Signs said "medium" traffic to Richmond. What a way to spend your Sunday, sitting in peak traffic like the other 5 working days lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/225942-eastlink-is-awesome/#findComment-3978922 Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbung Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 (edited) Tried to get from one part of the suburb to the other this arvo and traffic was banked back till the flinders turn off. With all those eastern wombats queing across the intersections it was frustrating to say the least. It was worse than boxing day traffic and thats saying something...now who was that idiot who scrapped the bypass? GO HOME EVERYONE!! there's nothing for you here Edited June 29, 2008 by madbung Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/225942-eastlink-is-awesome/#findComment-3978931 Share on other sites More sharing options...

W0rp3D Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 a lot of drivers have a hard enough time watching where there going when there is nothing else to see, so why dont we put something there for them to look at instead of the road.
