Decision-makers to be grilled about modelling that failed to foreshadow Rozelle Interchange traffic nightmare

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.

I think I see the problem
- Non-Euclidean-ass civil engineering
- Holy shit is that serious or a meme?
  
  That's apparently what they actually did. And it's underground so "one more lane" is going to be ridiclously expensive to do too.
Don't they have any minority neighbourhoods they could bulldoze to build more lanes?
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.
The original article contains 416 words, the summary contains 170 words. Saved 59%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Reading this on the metro, no traffic in this tunnel 😂
