A fascinating history and there are a lot of (road) routes that have previously been considered and discarded. Changes in technology might alter the viability of a few, but if alternate entrance roads were discarded in the 1960s for the high cost of property acquisition to create new distributors, it's hard to see them being much more viable now, during a housing crisis. Thanks for posting that link.dbl96 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2024 11:57 pm...
Apparently a base tunnel under the Mount Lofty Ranges was considered back in the 60s. The idea never went anywhere, although apparently not because of technical issues. This article is an interesting read: https://www.ozroads.com.au/SA/New/1/Pri ... istory.htm
