Clem7 Discounted Tolls may be Extended, Owing to Low Traffic Flows

Flan ClearyThe proprietor of Brisbane's Clem7 tunnel refutes that the organization is in fiscal difficulty as it deems expanding discounted tolls to improve miserable traffic flows.

Around 22,000 and 24,000 vehicles make use of the cross-city tunnel every day, quite less than the 60,000 estimate.

On Wednesday, Flan Cleary, Chief Executive of Tunnel Owner, RiverCity Motorway, said that a 30% toll discount slated to conclude on June 30 could be prolonged.

He told the ABC, "We would consider that yes. That's something we'll have a look at later in the month".

On being inquired if he would mull over a decrease in the permanent tax, he said that they will take a look at all choices.

But he added that at the same time, they truly do have to service a huge amount of debt, so they do require some monetary proceeds from it.

Mr. Cleary said that definitely the traffic stream was well short from what had been predicted for this time.

But he said that any fresh toll would experience the same obstacles.

There was also continuing resistance amongst motorists for shelling out money for tolls, but he was sure that it would alter after a while.
