Given that the Atlantic Road is a much more important and better option for the region as it will help economic growth rather than just the commuter side of things which the WRC is solely aimed at, then I can safely say yes to your answer.

We have to be ultra realistic nowadays about our finances and if the more important Atlantic Road is under threat because we don't have the cash and that no consortium is interested in PPP schemes (just look at the M17/M18 project) the WRC is a no go.

I have to say that to describe it as abandoned is the wrong word to use as truthfully, it really never had a chance to ever get started in the first place, especially phase 3 which will never happen in our life time.
