Sydney Orbital Network - Proposed or Missing Freeway/motorway Links

Proposed or Missing Freeway/motorway Links

  • Link to the F3 Sydney-Newcastle Freeway – The final stage of a motorway standard Sydney Bypass, a tunnel under Pennant Hills Road is in the planning stages.
  • Link to the F6 Southern Freeway – At present, there are no plans to complete this link as freeway standard. The only section which was built is the Captain Cook Bridge and its approaches. Land is still reserved north of this point through Sandringham, and south through the Royal National Park. This still leaves a considerable length of the corridor built out, which will require great expense to resume, or tunnel beneath.
  • Marrickville Tunnel – Proposal to link the orbital ring road at Port Botany with the M4 Motorway, to remove commercial traffic from inner west surface roads.
  • M4 East – Extension of the M4 Motorway to the Anzac Bridge. This proposal has been reviewed and cancelled following stiff community opposition, which cited encouraging additional commuter traffic into the CBD, whilst removing little commercial traffic from the area.

Famous quotes containing the words proposed, missing, freeway and/or links:

    There is no legislation—I care not what it is—tariff, railroads, corporations, or of a general political character, that all equals in importance the putting of our banking and currency system on the sound basis proposed in the National Monetary Commission plan.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    Waiting for the race to become official, he began to feel as if he had as much effect on the final outcome of the operation as a single piece of a jumbo jigsaw puzzle has to its predetermined final design. Only the addition of the missing fragments of the puzzle would reveal if the picture was as he guessed it would be.
    Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)

    His [O.J. Simpson’s] supporters lined the freeway to cheer him on Friday and commentators talked about his tragedy. Did those people see the photographs of the crime scene and the great blackening pools of blood seeping into the sidewalk? Did battered women watch all this on television and realize more vividly than ever before that their lives were cheap and their pain inconsequential?
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    Nor stony tower, nor walls of beaten brass,
    Nor airless dungeon, nor strong links of iron,
    Can be retentive to the strength of spirit.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
