Title: East Link Post by: Ian Robinson on July 02, 2008, 09,34:06 AM I have used the eastlink road for two days now. Most days I travel to the city for work so go from bayswater (boronia rd) to the city. I know it is school holidays at present but so far I seem to be saving at least 20 minutes each way.
I expect the polls to cost around $5.00 per day when the charges start and with the less stop starting hopefully will save more than the $5.00 a day in tolls with less fuel being used. Interestingly each day so far there have been crashes both ways and a B double that was stopped just before the tunnel heading to the city which clearly was way too high to fit and was facing a long reverse to get back to an exit ramp. I hate having to pay for the road but it may be cheaper and alot quicker to just use it.

I think it will be good for getting from the my place to the city and to the southern suburbs.
It's a bummer that we are going to pay for it in the future. Title: Re: East Link Post by: Serge C on July 02, 2008, 11,42:50 AM I just took my missus on a date. We croozed East Link. Very impressive piece of road. How romantic am I? (She said that I wouldn't mention the dinner and movie we also went out for!)
