GDE to be complete this October?

Gees,they built some crap on road cycle lanes ,how about some physical separation for once.

I quite liked the bikelanes, apart from the crap surface. Now we have the “Bike Lane Closed” which just means take the lane. Lucky I drive the GDE once a week so I can see there’s zero thought for cyclists – no space and the surface is unrideable in places.

Its bad enough heading south from the Aranda Bridge, the current trick of closing the right lane and obstructing the bike lane with the work truck is worse for me than the traffic controlled single lane was.

Don’t worry, even if they do somehow manage to finish it by October, I’m sure they’ll manage to keep the roadworks speed limits in place for a good couple of months afterwards.

BTW when it is finished, do we stop calling it GDE and just use Gungahlin Drive?

I think of it as the Gungahlin Drive Exasperation…

How about the GDF

Can anyone explain to me why the newly resurfaced sections of the GDE between Barton highway and wells station road are bumby as all hell? Does anyone actually look at the quality of the contruction during this project? no excuse for a new surface to be so bumpy.

Untill it needs resurfacing in November…

Maybe it will be opened somewhat like the AMC was?

I seem to recall that John Hargreaves ‘somewhat’ opened it a couple of years ago.

The John Stanhope Memorial Tollway. Nice ring to it.

Too bad it won’t relieve congestion, particularly at the Glenloch interchange, so will build another road to relieve congestion (Majura Parkway). The ACT Government should have watched the show on New York,SBS and how building roads and bridges caused gridlock it New York, thanks largely to Robert Moses.

Why not go back to its original name, the John Dedman Parkway? (Something about that never did sound quite right…)
