earlier comments edit
'In the 1980's and 1990's there was considerable rebuilding of the roads that lead onto the causeway'
Does this refer to the Great Eastern Hwy / Canning Hwy / Albany Hwy / Shepperton Rd / Causeway junction? If so it should be mentioned, and possibly what the road layout was prior to that. I think there was a big roundabout, Causeway Circus, but I don't know any more than that - does anyone else?
Hey you should get rid of your red link user name, make it blue! No-one called it causeway circus, but yes there was a roundabout before the great eastern to canning bridge was made, this is true.User:SatuSuro 14:09, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

NPOV? edit
The comment about the opening of the second causeway being a much more "pompous" affair doesn't sound NPOV to me. Shouldn't this be cleared up? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.39.162.130 (talk) 09:24, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
- I didn't realise there was such controversy about the pomposity of the opening. The first Causeway was opened progressively over the course of two years. The second bridge was opened in a ceremony by the Governor of the colony with "flags and bunting". Sounds more pompous to me. But maybe I'm biased. I'm not sure how, but you never know. - Mark 13:41, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
