A tunnel under Mount Victoria? Tell us about this please, Mr Toole. When did that get approved?
Why was it changed from a bypass? Why is Mount Victoria, like Blackheath, so privileged?
When can Medlow Bath expect their tunnel?
The highway is one long parking lot from Katoomba to Blackheath every Sunday afternoon and every public holiday.
Then toss into the mix the regular accidents that close the highway and you can see why locals know better than to even try to go out of their homes at those times.
Lucky Blackheath and now lucky Mount Vic - they'll get tunnels, alternate routes and some peace and quiet. Medlow Bath just gets the middle finger.
Central West folk will enjoy the new tunnels, too - until they hit the end of Blackheath's. And then it'll be the same old stop-start-crawl on to Medlow and along the highway to Katoomba.
Can anyone in that highway project team even spell the word "plan"?
