疏导墨尔本往来东西区交通
商界提建多线收费隧道
据6月10日《Sunday Herald Sun》报道，有商界提出在FLEMINGTON兴建一条连接东区公路与墨尔本连城收费公路 (CITYLINK) 的多线收费隧道，以疏导墨尔本往来东西区的交通。
据悉，MACQUARIE银行早前向维州政府递交一份兴建往来东西区的超级隧道的建议书，估计成本达数十亿元。
该份建议书指出，墨尔本交通挤塞问题每况愈下，若不采取有效解决方法，直至2011年，道路挤塞的总长度会由目前的640公里激增至1330公里。建议书称，兴建收费隧道是疏导往来东西区交通最理想的第一步，可连接HODDLE东街的东区高速公路、RACECOURSE路的连城收费公路和墨市商业中心区。而计划中的超级隧道将分别于 NICHOLSON街和ROYAL PARADE的交汇处各设两至三条行车线，如此一来可减少包括HODDLE街和ALEXANDRA PDE的塞车情况，以及缩减往来的时间，亦为驾车人士和公共车辆提供多个选择。该计划预料会由公共及私营机构合办。
书中提到的其它建议包括：加建由东区高速公路至DEER PARK的西环 (WESTERN RING) 路的隧道；一条由墨尔本港 (PORT MELBOURNE) 至GEELONG 路或西区公路的隧道；
加设来往DONCASTER至BOX HILL 达东区高速公路的巴士线、火车或轻便铁路。
最后建议书将于明年初呈交到维州政府作考虑。
Toll tunnel plan
June 10, 2007 12:00am Article from: Sunday Herald Sun
A MULTI-LANE tolled tunnel linking the Eastern Freeway with CityLink at Flemington has been proposed to ease Melbourne's east-west traffic woes.
Macquarie Bank has put forward the proposal to build the super tunnel to a Government study examining ways to tackle growing traffic congestion between the eastern and western suburbs.
It is understood the tunnel under Melbourne's inner north would cost several billion dollars.
According to the proposal, the cost of traffic gridlock in Melbourne will double from $4 billion to $8 billion each year by 2015, with the length of congested road more than doubling from 640km to 1330km by 2011 unless action is taken.
The proposal states the tunnel is an ideal first step in an east-west transport solution, providing a vital link between the Eastern Freeway east of Hoddle St, CityLink at Racecourse Rd and the CBD while also acting as a partial ring road.
The tunnel would have two to three lanes in each direction with interchanges at Nicholson St and Royal Parade.
It would ease congestion on existing routes, including Hoddle St and Alexandra Pde, reduce travel times via the new tunnel and allow for more public transport options, according to the proposal.
The submission to the East-West Link Needs Assessment study states traffic forecasts make the tunnel a financially viable option. It would be built in partnership between the public and private sectors.
Motorists would pay tolls in line with CityLink and EastLink.
Other options being considered by the study include a 15km link, including tunnels from the Eastern Freeway to Western Ring Rd at Deer Park, a tunnel from the Port of Melbourne to Geelong Rd or Western Highway and
a train, light-rail or bus route from Doncaster and Box Hill down the Eastern Freeway and then to the city by tunnel.
The final report is due to be handed to the State Government for consideration early next year. |
