Nick Xenophon's view of key SA projects

State election candidate and former senator Nick Xenophon has given his views on key SA infrastructure projects.

NICK XENOPHON'S ISSUES WITH KEY SA PROJECTS:

* O-Bahn busway tunnel extension: Mr Xenophon says the decision was highly political and ignored cheaper, more logical alternatives such as road upgrades.

* The New Royal Adelaide Hospital: He says the government failed to keep costs from blowing out and a better design would have solved problems with ambulance ramping and long waiting times.

* Adelaide CBD tram extension: Mr Xenophon has questioned the project's $70 million cost for just one kilometre of track. He says a similar extension in 2007 cost just $30 million.
