Heaslip Road was to be an underpass in the reference design, but the actual design is Heaslip Road over NEXY now.
Yeah, that's what I meant (I think :P). "Heaslip Road Underpass" means that NEXY underpasses Heaslip Road. I think that's right now?

Whatever happened to the grass and trees that were there? These photos are not that close to the foreshore dunes are they?

Good to see the road progressing. Should not be near as expensive or subject to bottlenecks as a similar distance in B'bane where you get so many bends, flyovers, subways, tolls and even spaghetti thrown in. Getting it all done early is the way to go IMO.

Cruise I wrote this because I remember the area around the salt pans (not far from the dunes) and a good disatance towards the north as looking like this - but 22 years ago when I last saw it. I did not cross check first with route maps for a more accurate understanding - my bad! (Hence your response).

Thankyou also Raulduke for your info.

No worries, what i said was a bit of a knee jerk response tbh. For someone who doesnt live far from this project i'm sure you can understand it sounded funny to me.

Are there any maps that show where this expressway is going to be, where it goes, what it connects to? If I drove south down the northern expressway will I eventually reach the southern expressway, or does it conect to different roads? Where is it in relation to existing highways/expressways/freeways?

If anyone has some maps/visual aids to show me these things that would be really awesome, since I'm not really sure right now where this thing is.
