They're blocking lanes on the Narrows Bridge and the Kwinana Freeway (AGAIN - they only widened the Narrows a few years back). This time it's to put in a railway line down the middle of the freeway to Mandurah. OK, I can deal with that. But, wait for it... they've decided NOT to put a station in at South Perth (near the zoo) while they're building it. They're gonna do that in 2010 AFTER the rail line has been built. So they'll be interrupting freeway traffic AGAIN. Why don't they spend the extra few weeks and build the damned thing when they're doing the others? Sheesh!!! Rhonda Hi Jason
