A Supplementary EIS was then prepared on the 'Long 80' option and other changes to the approved project. It was on public display for four weeks up to 31 August 2002. As a result of representations from stakeholders, the RTA:
■ partially restored access to the Harbour crossings and City North from Cowper Wharf Roadway for local residents
■ further restricted surface roads to traffic travelling through Woolloomooloo and Kings Cross.
At the same time the RTA accepted CCM's proposal to carry out about $75 million worth of additional work (discussed in Chapter 2) in return for more revenue by increasing the annual escalation of the toll.
The project deed was executed in December 2002.
