The junction where the sea link ends and joins the existing road is the worst I have ever seen in modern construction. I believe there shud have been some sort of grade separator to relieve congestion at that point. Just inserting traffic into the existing road will create chaos which we can literally see. Poor planning
From d Pic it seems...THE bRIDGE ENDS AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL/TRAFFIC JUNCTION...THAT'S REALLY DUMB..AND ALL VEHICLES WOULD BE MOVING IN ONE DIRECTION ONLY...THEY HAD RATHER OUT A FORK AND MADE IT FOR LEFT AND RIGHT DOWNFLOW..

Maddy, I would not be surprised if they had not put even an exit. What a plan ...really...looks like they employed a carpenter to design this.
It is strange that even in today's times when rapidity of increase in the volume of traffic on roads is beyond control, our planners thought of this link to be only 4-lane. What a pity! No newly planned road in today's time should even be thought of having less than 6-lanes. Utter lack of sense of planning and assessment. It won't take more than a couple of months when the inadequecy of road width is felt.

1. My dear, we are adding the population of one australia every year ! No amount of planning or resources would be sufficient to cater to the needs of such a population. 2. Since a large chunk of financial resources are being poured into the metros at the cost of the hinterland, unabated migration of population continues to the metros throwing everything out of gear. 3. Decongestion of Metros is the need of the hour and planners should direct their energies towards this seriously.

The other 4 lanes are no where in sight. Is it located somewhere else or it is yet to be started?

Or could it be that they call a separate tender (contract) for building that divider ? Some more public money ?
As if they have not seen such a marvel infrastructure, they are behaving worst than the villagers coming to the city first time by taking joy ride on the bridge there by creating choas.
