Thanks AtD

That's what I figured, but after construction of the tunnel, how will the slip lanes work? Will they then make a new slip lane to the west of the tunnel?

I can't understand how building the underpass to the west of the existing road is going to cause less disruption in the long term. Underpass in the middle with slip lanes on either side would seem to be the least interuptive to traffic flow, IMO.

When I was 14 I would've given my right arm to work those kinds of shifts and earn time and a half, perhaps even double time ? Anyone here been on a similar award? For working that shift you would expect to be paid at least time and a half. In this case the kid's wage went from $8.69 an hour to $9....

There seem to be a hell of a lot of ostriches posting here. Pull your heads out of the sand guys, GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL. The ice caps are melting at a faster rate than ever before in recorded history, and this co-incides with the rise in global-warming gasses in our atmosphere. The more of these ga...

Ha, what a joke! A casual employee can't be 'forced' to work those shifts. What world are you living in? Sure, they can't be "forced" to work those shifts - but their employer can tell them that the alternative is that they can always go and find work at another company! Lucky for this ki...

From today's 'Tiser: Traffic flows smoothly EXPECTED traffic chaos with the closure of Bakewell Bridge on Henley Beach Rd was a non-event in the western suburbs this morning. While peak-hour traffic was heavy along Sir Donald Bradman Drv, to Marion Rd, it was flowing smoothly, with no accidents or b...

Yes, I was surprised to hear that the trip into the City along Henley Beach Road was expected to take an extra 10 minutes during the construction phase. That's a lot of extra time for such a short deviation.

From Friday's 'Tiser: Prominent town to be envy of many RAISED out of the South Australian desert in a matter of months, Prominent Hill will soon be a town that is the envy of most rural dwellers. At its peak early next year, during construction of the Oxiana open-cut copper and gold mine, more than...

Heard Pat Conlon on the news this morning on my way to work, answering (very well, I might add) comments about community groups' dissatisfaction with the new underpass. He said that there has been constant consultation with community groups about the design, and constant tweaking of the design to me...

The last time I saw Johnny was at the cricket at Adelaide Oval last January. My kids' jaws nearly hit the ground as he walked past. He was an Adelaide icon.

It won't happen. From what I have seen over the years, Marathon Resources deals mainly in smoke and mirrors. They come up with a lot of ludicrous ideas and make the news, trying to bump up their share price, but it all ends in ..... nothing. Earlier this year they were talking about open cut mining ...

From today's 'Tiaser: Gold Coast comes to Hindmarsh Island ANOTHER 1200 homes are to be built on Hindmarsh Island in a $350 million development proposed for its northern side. Designed around a canal, the Narnu Waterways development is to be built on 250ha of private land. Preparations for an Enviro...

In your ideal world, that would work. Unfortunately, it means stomping on people to achieve what you want to achieve. For example Override residents and councils when they stand in the way of appropriate development. Who gets to decide what is appropriate development? Put wealth growth ahead of weal...

A bloated public service? There's hardly enough public servants left to offer a public service. Dying manufacturing industries is pretty much a fact of life these days. If there's something to be made that everyone is going to want - cars, whitegoods - they can be made overseas and imported cheaper ...
