The Adelaide Obahn Busway is one of only a few in the world, and
the longest.
An underpass is under construction and due to be commissioned
later this year.
It will reduce traffic volume and delays by diverting the
Obahn Bus System off of Hackney Road and North Terrace
through the underpass, under the intersection, and entering
Grenfell Street through the exit at east Terrace.
I first suggested a tunnel through the parklands in a letter
to the editor some 10/15 years ago.
I have been following the construction with interest.

A teaser - how many people are there working on the apartment block? Is the fire engine moving too fast relatively?

These views are from my previous foray in July 2016.
There has been a significant change.
