I know nothing about the tunnel or the roads, but your second sentence sounded as though there was merit, if the process was continued.

It seems to me that most major cities world wide have to either go overhead or underground as congestion becomes more and more of a problem.

To just bury your head in the ground and say we will manage is dumb.

We have a similar problem in Perth, the chosen path for the Perth - Mandurah rail line was through the outer suburbs. The incoming goverment overturned it and went down the freeway.

Now the freeway is choked and it is obvious the rail line will have to be buried or raised, it will cost billions and cause massive traffic problems.

However at the time everyone was overjoyed, in the fact the rail line was not going through outer suburbs, as it would be more scenic and save 12 minutes.

It will cost W.A a lot of money to overcome that political decision.IMO
