Mr Knoll spoke on Monday\u2019s FIVEAA breakfast show about the plan to upgrade the part of South Rd between the River Torrens and Darlington.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe took to the election a pretty clear policy of not putting tolls on roads and we\u2019re sticking to that commitment and to be honest we don\u2019t need it to do what we need to do,\u201d Mr Knoll said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe price tag certainly is huge and can I tell you that $5 billion is not anything we\u2019ve put on the table. We know it\u2019s going to be more than the intersections that we\u2019ve already done, but getting to that final price tag is still something that is being worked through. It depends on which options we choose and the style in which we choose that option. The dollar figure is going to be huge.\u201d<\/p>\n
David Penberthy:<\/strong> \u201cIt could be more than $5 billion?\u201d<\/p>\n
Stephan Knoll:<\/strong> \u201cYeah it could. This is going to be the largest infrastructure project that the state has undertaken and there\u2019s a reason why it\u2019s been left to last because it\u2019s the hardest bit. Its also potentially the bit that\u2019s going to see large benefits unlocked.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
