by 2065 without high speed rail

Our cities, highways and airports are congested
today.
In 2065, without alternatives our East Coast will
be gridlocked.

Without alternatives by 2065
• Airports will need additional runways
• Sydney will need a 3rd airport
• The 800km Hume Hwy will need duplicating
again
