No-one except you is making that claim. What it will do is take traffic off roads not designed to carry it and put it on a road that is designed for it. Sydney is a far better place to live now that WestConnex is completed and its associated tunnels such as the Western Harbour Tunnel and M6 Tunnel are under construction. The world's largest road tunnel network will just get bigger and better as the years progress and surface streets can be handed over for community use and trams. At the same time, NSW is building a world-class metro rail system with driverless trains and this forms the largest public transport project in Austraia by far. So public transport advocates cannot complain that they are not being looked after. Thanks goes to Barry, Mike, Gladys and Dom for getting these ambitious but much needed projects off the ground.
A amazing engineering project, Wind back history The area around Balmain/ Birchgrove / Glebe where the project connects with other toll roads is riddled with coal seams. and a original source the growing city need for coal was met by tunneling under the harbour. The need for this crossing of the harbour was pushed through to relieve Traffic congestion . Toll companies are set to gain by this cross harbour tunneling Project at the expense of alternate transport priorities. Traffic connection argument world wide perpetuates the need for these tunneling mega projects. Meanwhile Western Sydney where 1/2 of the population lacks basic Public transport infrastructure.
Not a bad clip for those interested in such projects and lessons flowing from them. Reasonably accurate and succinct presentation. Some images shown are not relevant, but not to an extent that gets really annoying or amusing.. Certainly better than many in this genre, it will probably be of reasonably sustained interest and value; but given the (apparently "shocking") change was made about 3 months before it was uploaded, it does border a bit on 'old news'.
If you'd have watched from start to finish, you would have known that the author acknowledged the change from immersed tube to bored tunnels. It's a fantastic idea which was intended to relieve the traffic load on the Anzac Bridge and Western Distributor, the latter being built in the 1980s for heaven's sake, when Sydney only had 3m people. The tunnels are a fucken awesome idea. They will eliminate the bottleneck at the Rozelle Interchange the minute they open.

It’s not gonna do anything and the extra lanes are gonna be worse! Just creating the Rozelle interchange again basically
Haha - here's an actual channel the believes adding roads gets rid of traffic!
Absolutely hilarious stuff, from the 1950s and 1960s!
Urbanistic bs? Yes we heard you many times. While we driving on westconnex instead of congested parramatta rd. Which, btw, became drivable too.

NYMBY as is. Costing billions and years, but not for us!
I despise power point videos.
It's not a $3.2 Billion tunnel it's $6.8 Billion tunnel. It's a fucking stupid idea. It's not an immersed tube tunnel.

The tunnel is fucking brilliant idea. The final piece of westconnex. Pity it won’t extend to the northern beaches as it was intended to
