The GDE is a road, and its an Capitilisation, so that's reason enough for me to dislike it, as roads are built for cars.
When the GDE was built, it was built with just one lane either way, this was despite the fact that it needed 2 lanes either way. As a result, once it was complete it was blocked with traffic every peak hour . Ok, so a few years latter it was decided to make it 2 lanes each way, during the construction the speed limit was reduced during roadworks, making the road even less functional.
Then, when they were duplicating a bridge, it collapsed.
Then, when they were part way through the 4 lane 'upgrade' they realised there would be a bottle neck at the end of the GDE at the Glenloch interchange, which, had just been upgraded costing millions over a few years.
And, why did we need this road, so the good people living in the new suburbs in Gungahlin could buy huge houses in the middle of nowhere (a Gen Y hotspot) and get to work in less than half an hour, forcing reliance on the car.
The GDE is a complete waste of time and money.
