The trouble-plagued Rozelle Interchange in Sydney's inner west is set to get the blowtorch treatment with a New South Wales upper house inquiry being announced into what has gone wrong.

In an interview with the ABC last week Premier Chris Minns apologised to motorists stuck in traffic because of massive road project and said there was no quick fix.

Roads Minister John Graham recently said it would take about six months for traffic to settle down in the area, with congestion returning at the conclusion of the school holidays last week.

The upper house voted last night to look into the plans and implementation of the complex roadworks, with a report due mid year.

The inquiry will also look at the adjacent Rozelle Parklands, closed last month due to asbestos-contaminated mulch found initially near a children's playground.

Incremental improvements have been made since the complex set of spaghetti tunnels opened late last year, especially on City West Link approaches to the Anzac Bridge, with several lanes previously merging into one.

Rules

Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
