Me too - is it at the Darlington end?
Appears to be 3 lanesChillyPhilly wrote:Now we have to hope the Libs don't butcher this and give us two tunnels that are only two lanes wide.
Here's a render from the State Budget Overview.

will the gallipoli underpass need to be widened? it appears as if the gallipoli underpass will be extended south so it goes under where the current tram line sits.
these were the first two questions that came to mind after reading the finer details.
It's just after Ayliffes Road with the old Mitsubishi plant to the left.
That certainly looks right but I doubt that is part of a real plan... Advertiser reporting that the tunnels will start about 1km north of there, which would make more sense considering the motorway already goes under Tonsley Boulevardcroweater888 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 5:22 pmIt's just after Ayliffes Road with the old Mitsubishi plant to the left.
Looks like they will take some of the land near The Crescent for widening, which may not be good news for Adrian Brien.
There may end up being an interchange in the vicinity of Sir Donald Bradman and James Congdon Drives, which would let people use the NSM to get to and from the airport.ginzahikari wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 5:47 pmWhat is the 'airport link' thing they were mentioning about?
That's definitely not the Mitsubishi building, even if it is it's missing Tonsley Boulevard. Plus, all the Darlingon Upgrade works are brand new, I highly doubt they'd demolish the section around Tonsley when they wouldn't even be 5 years old by the time construction starts.croweater888 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 5:22 pmIt's just after Ayliffes Road with the old Mitsubishi plant to the left.

There damn well better be. Otherwise chalk it down as another liberal party stuff up.Spotto wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 7:29 pmThere may end up being an interchange in the vicinity of Sir Donald Bradman and James Congdon Drives, which would let people use the NSM to get to and from the airport.ginzahikari wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 5:47 pmWhat is the 'airport link' thing they were mentioning about?
I'm curious if you can follow up your sourceNTRabbit wrote:I was told this weekend that the Feds are refusing to commit major funding to the main stretch, even if the state Libs had a shovel ready plan for the infrastructure stimulus money on time, because there's no business case that can be written up which shows it will make a profit.
No profit means zero funding, which is why all of this is leaking out now.
We need 7 Billion dollars are we suggesting State Libs have announced this with no promise of funding?
The decision to build the northern tunnel will spare landmarks previously under threat including Thebarton Theatre, Queen of Angels Church, Hindmarsh Cemetery and the Hoffman Brick Kiln.
The state government says it has provisioned $1.96 billion over the next four years for the project, which will create up to 4000 jobs.
It says it will deliver 78km of free-flowing motorway from Gawler to Old Noarlunga, bypassing 21 sets of traffic lights and saving up to 24 minutes in travel time on the new section alone.
Current estimates put the project cost at $8.9 billion. The final cost estimate will be determined later next year after a detailed business case and final assurances by Infrastructure Australia and Infrastructure South Australia.
Good question, that overpass will be 40 years old by the time they tunnel underneath that section. Maybe they will just demolish it.[Shuz] wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 10:24 pmHow is the setup at Emerson going to work, given that the support pylons of the current overpass are in the way of the tunnel, unless the tunnels deviate to the left or right of the structure? Also it rules out any railway underpass or overpass, so that's just bungling any chance of a grade seperation in that area.
There's a few other concerns I have, but Emerson is the main one I'll provoke some discussion for now.
