The widening of Delhi Road is only an extra east bound lane from the M2 Motorway over a relatively short distance to just before the Northern Suburbs Crematorium. It's hardly going to make much difference. There will still be a single lane in both directions for the rest of Delhi Road across Fullers Bridge and Millwood Avenue to Fullers Road, which is already chock-a block in peak hours. Even with the relatively minor number of passengers transferring to buses from the Northern Line, I can't see how the suggested additional travel times are credible.ed24 wrote:They also have to finish the widening of Delhi Road.Daniel wrote:September.

Although not directly related to this topic, it brings to mind the folly of past governments in abandoning the proposed direct upgraded road link from Delhi Road bypassing Fullers Bridge, Millwood Avenue and Fullers Road to the Boundary Street and Pacific Highway intersection at Roseville. Local environmental groups opposed the passage of the road link through the Blue Gum Forest, just as they did in opposing the original ECRL crossing of the Lane Cove River by a bridge, which resulted in the then Labor Government caving in and agreeing to a steeper alignment to pass under the
river instead. In the process, an additional station at the UTS Kuring-gai Campus had to be cancelled as it would be too deep because of the steeper alignment.
