What's people's thoughts on finishing South Rd. Tunnels or land acquisitions & an above ground freeway. I've said before, I'm not opposed to a toll road for the last 10km. Also the idea of a tunnel from the last arrester bed coming out on Cross road with a direct run yo South Rd (when complete) seems like a good one to me.
Agree, I reckon once South Road is fully complete they will tie in a Victor Harbor Rd upgrade and take Freight Traffic through the Southern Hills around Strathalbyn to the back of Mt Compass, continuing with Freight down the Freeway and through the Eastern Suburbs surely cant be a long term solution.
It's either a long way out of the way South or a hell of a long way out of the way North and both trips would include tight winding or steep climbs / descents. Where it is is the most logical, yet probably the least manageable.
it gets flatter once you head down Strath way towards south of Mt Compass, build a bridge at Wellington and they could come that way.
