I spent a few hours on Friday trying the different flyovers just to see where they took me, and they all seem to work pretty well.<BR/>And we have the other one, Interchange 6?, at the other end of the Marina being built at the usual speed, so we soon, presumably, will be able to come and go from there without having to drive through the Marina.<BR/>The real test is when JBR starts to fill, and the hotels are up and running. (Apart from the JBR hotels there's one at Marina Mall, another round behind Cascades). I still think the roads & bridges in the Marina itself won't cope.Seabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939892206726271433noreply@blogger.com
