墨尔本西部郊区桑希尔公园的阿尔弗雷德路关闭了四个月, 居民在经过12天的通知后, 通过私人牧场走非法捷径, 增加了45到55分钟的通勤时间. A four-month closure of Alfred Road in Thornhill Park, a western Melbourne suburb, has forced residents to take illegal shortcuts through private paddocks after only 12 days’ notice, adding 45 to 55 minutes to commutes. 关闭是开发商主导的升级的一部分,切断了通往Cobblebank火车站的唯一直接路线,在发出危险警告和TAC覆盖面不足的情况下,引发了临时土路。 The closure, part of a developer-led upgrade, cut off the only direct route to the Cobblebank train station, prompting makeshift dirt trails despite warnings of danger and lack of TAC coverage. 居民表示，绝望推动了这种行为，因为该地区缺乏公共交通、高速公路立交桥和第二条主要道路。 Residents say desperation drives the behavior, as the area lacks public transport, a freeway interchange, and a second major road. 理事会正在考虑快速追赶Shogaki车道,这是2028年计划修建的一条动脉公路,而更广泛的西高速公路升级仍没有资金,仍在设计之中。 The council is considering fast-tracking Shogaki Drive, a planned 2028 arterial road, while the broader Western Freeway upgrade remains unfunded and in design.
