Over budget, underground, outdated 1960’s thinking to reduce traffic congestion, a threat to the environment and Northbridge’s character and community. These are just some of the numerous criticisms that were levelled at the more than $400 million Graham Farmer Freeway and the Northbridge Tunnel.

Controversial from the start, the Graham Farmer Freeway is the focus of the latest What We Thought Would Kill Us case study, released today by the Committee for Perth.

“I don’t think the people of Perth could imagine getting around the city and the metropolitan area without the Graham Farmer Freeway and the Northbridge Tunnel,” said Committee for Perth CEO, Marion Fulker.
