    This is because of the weekend closure of the Riverside Expressway this weekend due to bridge construction works.

    So, you know, good luck with this.

    Wish the Gateway was free. It's robbery.

    Highlights how poorly Brisbane is serviced for free vehicle crossings

      Yeah can't afford under water tunnels

    I don’t understand why the tunnel owner can’t simply decrease the toll fee and attract more drivers to use the toll way and divert traffic and achieve better road management? And this way people use the facility more efficiently.

      If you take note who uses the expensive tunnels most, it is mostly government contractors or corporate vehicles.
      It is crazy to believe with all the taxes and road levies that we have multinational companies owning our bridges and tunnels for profit.

      I agree. It makes no sense

    • Charity on 19/06/2021 - 23:34

      Something else to consider, if the operator made it too cheap - almost literally everyone would use them and therefore they would be clogged.

    Tolls are BS. Using private money for construction allows road authorities to mismanage money (they could have paid for it with government funds through efficiency) and can (not always) distort traffic flow away from efficiency due to price of a route

    That's my personal opinion.

      You're absolutely right that tolls are BS. What it actually highlights is that successive governments have not allowed the transport network to be planned. You end up with pollies having to splash money around just before elections (for obvious votes), deciding on infrastructure within 4 year election cycles. This should instead be planned for well in advance by professionals with actual degrees in this stuff. That way the funding allocation would be more predictive… but unfortunately that's not as sexy as ribbon cutting. LOL

      Well if you look at Brisbane's history in predicting the traffic on toll ways that was another major blunder. It's always the tax payer that gets screwed.

    People in WA while eating iron ore for breakfast

    What are tolls?

      yeah, but there is nowhere to go in WA. It should be a paradise with endless land and opportunity… but practically the entire population lives in an area the size of Hong Kong and sits at home depressed with nothing to do but wash their fluro's and Hilux.
