We're in for another change

Well, it looks like we are in for another change of direction as far as the Smithfield bypass goes. Reports on the news indicate that the bypass will now exit at Caravonica (as shown by the green line may not be exact). The Caravonica roundabout will be removed and the movements will be controlled by traffic lights. The cost of the by pass was around $152 million so now with the removal of the roundabout and probably road changes and \additional costs for the traffic lights one has to ask how much will this cost. The change was bought on by the construction firm who suggested that the "interchage" should be located at the Caravonica intersection and not the Yorkeys roundabout. All the bypass is doing is bypassing the Smithfield roundabout but now with lights and revamped intersection is this really going to solve the problem?
