A high-powered inquiry will examine what's caused the massive traffic problems in Sydney's congested inner west as well as the discovery of asbestos in garden mulch in the associated parkland.

Whenever I feel sad I just think the words “Rozelle Interchange” and my life gets a little bit better…

    Could they just not add another lane? That always works in the long run.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    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.
