Well, it's not fractured.

I have torn a muscle in my calf (or whatever the muscle is called), just above my ankle. Cartlidge is damaged and looks like being worn away in the "dome" ish area of my ankle joint (yeah, my terminology is amazing...) and have done nerve damage. However, he did inform me that I have hyperextension, which makes my joints "floppy" and explains why I get injured so easily. Physio weekly to rebuild some strength....can play but have to take it easy.

By 9am I made a mistake and was going off the original notes I had months ago. Apologies Mr Keens. Thank you for picking up on that.

Anyway. It's postponed now anyway.

Yeah, that was awful.

Were any of the crossover points being used?

 

[Atomic]

They opened up the contra-flow at about 9:30? last night. It was funny once they did becasue as soon as the traffic crossed over onto the Sth bound side, we had 3 open lanes and it was like someone had opened the gates to the lunatic assylum! lol - I've never seen so many cars travelling so fast - even on the autobahn. I must admit, it was a cool feeling driving north on the south bound side.

The real issue is why it took so long to open up the contra-flow. I have video on my phone of the trickle of traffic heading south whilst northbound was a parking lot. How difficult would it have been to divert the soth bound traffic onto the Old road sooner?

Heard on the radio this morning that they were expecting a quick cleanup, so it was deemed unnecessary. But the the first truck that came to siphon the fuel out couldn't do it, because it contained the wrong fuel......

Why they didn't open it then and there......

 

[jiggles]

Should of just let people fill up as they drove by...

I've done south on the north bound and it is a cool feeling. It was a scafollding truck around 8 or 9 years ago crossed the nature strip heading north and plowed into quite a few vehicles at the hornsby exit south bound.

 

[marinermick]

With the fires a few years ago we found ourselves somehow at the front of the queue when the freeway was closed.

Anyway, they decided to open our section of the freeway and keep the southbound traffic closed.

After a few kilometres and getting a good steam up we found ourselves the only car on the freeway as we were ahead of the pack and there was no on-coming traffic.

Now that was a surreal experience!!!!!!

Do I get it right that when there is a huge traffic jam that you are allowed to use the lanes that lead to the opposite (?) direction?
Where does all the traffic of that lanes go?

Me thinks that this is a quite good idea

Yeah we also have the advantage of having the old highway almost mirroring the freeway so they can divert onto that as well. No Idea what they were doing the other night but they would basically limit the traffic in one direction back into 1 lane and divert the others across. They may of diverted the south bound traffic onto the old pacific highway

The did but with trucks and the amount of traffic it was gridlock as well

 

[Arabmariner]

Why they allowed people to join the freeway at Wahroonga all day when they knew they would be going nowhere is just ridiculous.

I got on at Wahroonga at 7.15pm and got home at 11.30pm (normal trip 45 mins).

I got off at Berowra,got fuel,went for a pizza and rejoined the freeway without losing my spot
