Today is May 13, which means it’s exactly one year since the ‘black Friday’ city-wide gridlock caused by the water-main-onto-freeway incident.

Yesterday, there was gridlock along Mounts Bay Road (near the hospital) just before 6pm, so it took half an hour to get from UWA to the Busport. On Wednesday, also around 6pm, there was congestion on Mounts Bay Road near the Swan brewery, again slowing my UWA — Perth journey to more than half an hour.

Coincidence … or conspiracy?!
