Has a report on what went wrong been made public?

In December 2019 the Auditor-General tabled a report on various aspects of the Darlington Upgrade Project, https://www.audit.sa.gov.au/LinkClick.a ... nload=true including Section 4 on the revetment wall failure based on the preliminary report (June/July 2019) by Aurecon to DPTI.
The Flinders Link project was assessed by the Public Works Committee in 2017 with a further hearing in 2018. The relevant files can be found on the PWC website as Report 578 in the Completed Referals folder. The issue of the tender process was addressed in the committee hearing.
The bus "interchange" is under construction below the bridge on the surface road of South Road. It's more of a transfer point than an interchange.
I expect the answer is "no they haven't planned for it". I think extending the Tonsley line more than this is a pipe dream anyway. And even if they did extend it's a single track line anyway. And if they decided they needed more capacity you can do a lot with passing loops like on the Belair line so you wouldn't need to duplicate the bridge.Patrick_27 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 12, 2020 1:56 pmHave they allowed for a second track (if need be) to be added on the section of the bridge allocated to the bike path? Based on the steel work I'd have said yes, but it doesn't look wide enough and they you'd lose the track, obviously. If not, I can see this being an expensive oversight, especially if they extend the line.
