Eastlink Is Awesome!

[THR34T]

what you people think of it who went on? lol saw few skylines on. did anyone notice that hotel like on it ?

[CAJFLY]

yeh wtf is that hotel thing lmao

with no road to it. well i couldnt see one

[RCHOO]

Well i just went on the new Eastlink. Not bad

I had a good run i was the only car in the tunnel. Well worth seeing at night guys...

And as for that motel thing...Well i dont know.. Im guessing some kind ot control tower..

Only saw 1 cop car(van) at the Frankston end heading back towards the city....

[eMsta]

remember the speed cameras too guys - wouldnt want anyone getting caught while trialing the link out

[madbung]

Superfluous art work is such a wank...personally I'd rather look at an empty paddock and have cheaper tolls.

Seriously I like roads to be roads not "conceptual experiences" what a waste of $$ and we're all paying for the privilege of admiring it.

Fancy bridges-tunnels, hotels to nowhere, ect Grrrrrrr.

A lasting legacy of how we were all Bracks'd.

Nice Toll road though, It's just a shame it's not the freeway we've all waited 30+yrs for.

All they need now is a popsicle stick skyscraper, giant magnifying glass, and the escalator to nowhere!

Aren't the cameras not operational for a couple of months?

Gold!!! can I drive?

Whoever tags that "hotel" first I hope they do a Homer in one of the windows trying to get out.

[UNR33L]

people say the cameras dont work for the first month, but by all means you go first and speed through not worth the risk imo

[THR34T]

Cameras are off ya but good luck speeding cause they got pursuit cop cars pretty much every section. it a pretty fun game trying to find where there hiding when you drive past lol.

[CAJFLY]

its weird they say u wont be charged for the toll for 4 weeks but last night my etag was beeping each time i went through a toll point WTF!!!

[Rekin]

drove past an overpass today.

Eastlink traffic was moving slow and all lanes were blocked. Signs said "medium" traffic to Richmond.

What a way to spend your Sunday, sitting in peak traffic like the other 5 working days lol

[madbung]

Tried to get from one part of the suburb to the other this arvo and traffic was banked back till the flinders turn off. With all those eastern wombats queing across the intersections it was frustrating to say the least.

It was worse than boxing day traffic and thats saying something...now who was that idiot who scrapped the bypass?

GO HOME EVERYONE!! there's nothing for you here

Too late. Some idiot P-plater already been done - 135kph in 100 zone.

After all the publicity, it would seem some are just too f*****g stupid to have a licence.

oops i didn't know about that.

what a stupid idea...

[madbung]

Yep I'd rather look at the empty paddock and pay a smaller toll personally..$5.5mil and most of it to a Canadian artist. grrr

[W0rp3D]

a lot of drivers have a hard enough time watching where there going when there is nothing else to see, so why dont we put something there for them to look at instead of the road.
