Future Works
There are plans to increase the capacity of the Northbridge Tunnel to three lanes in each direction. The existing breakdown shoulders will be removed to accommodate the extra lanes without modifying the tunnel's structure. The proposed removal of the breakdown lanes has previously been criticised by the state Opposition, and the RAC raised concerns about emergency response times. As part of the upgrade, Main Roads Western Australia has an Incident Response Plan, including a dedicated towing service, and the fire control system will be improved. The works are scheduled to be completed in May 2013, in conjunction with works to widen the Mitchell Freeway. The works are designed to improve the traffic flow in the Perth CBD, which will be affected by construction projects such as the development of Elizabeth Quay.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or works:
“Only he who can view his own past as an abortion sprung from compulsion and need can use it to full advantage in the present. For what one has lived is at best comparable to a beautiful statue which has had all its limbs knocked off in transit, and now yields nothing but the precious block out of which the image of one’s future must be hewn.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; yet we know that a person is justified not by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ. And we have come to believe in Christ Jesus, so that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by doing the works of the law, because no one will be justified by the works of the law.”
—Bible: New Testament, Galatians 2:15-16.
