What We Thought Would Kill Us - The Graham Farmer Freeway and Northbridge Tunnel
This report examines the controversy and long-term outcomes surrounding the Graham Farmer Freeway and Northbridge Tunnel project.
The Freeway with a 1.6 kilometre tunnel was proposed as a long-term solution to alleviate inner-city traffic congestion. The project received wide-spread community support, however there were others who were vehemently opposed to the project on the grounds that it was an out-dated proposal that would continue to facilitate a car dependent community. Opponents suggested that the project’s cost of over $300 million would be better spent on public transport.
