1 hour and 45 minutes to get from richmond to footscray.. avoiding the tunnell.. taking the quiet way, at 11am... I'd sleep overnight if i was in the city and headed out of the city tonight. would hate to see traffic at peak hour

Bloody Trucks in the Tunnel, it seems like they dont' give a rat about speed camera or something, they always speed and not to consider while driving next to them, all i see is 98% of them use re-cap tire in the back.

Not to mention is says trucks stay on left. And they are in the far right lane riding up your ass.

I was involved with some testing and work on a number of those systems when they were first installed. makes me feel good it all worked. The fire monitoring system is really just a long fiber that monitoris temp change form memory...which in turn activiates the water systems. I remember cos when this was made ppl still had the French tunnel fire in mind when bulidng this.

I wonder how they liked the exit signs....I chose them back in my uni days..

There are about 22 links form the burnely to the domain...so thats what they block both ways, to use the other for escape.

This is a sad thing to see happen.. I was out on the road all day today and traffic was crazy... I was lucky i had to go the eastern...

Condolences to the families of those that died..

I would have to say from the pic that Hus posted of that WRX it didn't look all that bad.. Possible the worst was behind that car..
