Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The M7 Clem Jones Tunnel (CLEM7), known during its development as the North-South Bypass Tunnel (NSBT), is a AUD$3.2 billion toll road built under the Brisbane River, which crosses between the suburbs of Woolloongabba and Bowen Hills in Brisbane, Australia. The CLEM7 Community Open Day, a public open day which included a tunnel run and walk was held on 28 February 2010. The tunnel was progressively opened to traffic from late on the 15th March 2010 until just after midnight on the 16. It was completely open - all lanes, both directions - by 12.02 am. The tunnel was originally proposed by then Labor Lord Mayor Jim Soorley in 2001, and was incorporated into the Liberal Party candidate Campbell Newman's five tunnel vision, called TransApex in 2002. In December 2007, Brisbane City Council decided to name the tunnel the Clem Jones Tunnel in honour of the former lord mayor. On July 16 2008, the Government of Queensland announced that the tunnel will be known as the M7 Motorway. The M7 name will also be assigned to the Airport Link. The project is Brisbanes first privately financed inner city toll road. The road is the city's largest road infrastructure project and one of Queensland's largest infrastructure projects. With tunnel length of 4.8 km it is the longest road tunnel in the country until the planned 6.7 km Airport Link tunnel is complete. Construction bids were provided by a tender process in which RiverCity Motorway was selected over the Brisconnections consortium. The project commenced in September 2006, with tunneling using two very large boring machines completing digging by May 2009. The tunnel is tolled via an electronic tolling system. The tunnel design includes extensive safety systems, a traffic control centre and speed cameras. Th... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=5081955
