Coffs Harbour Bypass Midcoast NSW Australia

[@deanpd3402]

Thanks Jay for all of the updates you do.

[@BigJayDogAdventures]

No problem

[@garryteahan6375]

Amazing piece of Engineering. Thanks for posting.

[@BigJayDogAdventures]

It’s great

[@Lex-mo5mr]

Looks a pretty complex project with several tunnels to be built - all to save 11 minutes in travel. I suppose the new bypass will save possible road deaths and traffic congestion. Thanks BJD for video.

[@rodneydrew9117]

it's not the road it's the idiots driver's just 11 minutes wow then all the town will suffer

[@Roadrunnerz45]

they were going to do cuttings to save time and cost but the community did not want that. its the trade offs you make when building generational infrastructure like this.

[@BigJayDogAdventures]

Good to hear that

If you have had to go through Coffs in the Christmas slow grind ,you would know that it is needed.

No Worries

This has to be one of the most complex and constrained road projects in NSW history. I had a play it at a slower speed to take in all the goings on. Cheers mate 🫡

[@BigJayDogAdventures]

Yes I agree

[@MF-hs6fx]

The engineering is enormous especially to allow for rain

[@mattymmmm2362]

Great video mate, any chance you could stop off at Hexham on the way home?

[@BigJayDogAdventures]

Yeah definitely

[@deadsimple3506]

[@thearabiansahara]

Any chance you can do the M6 in Sydney?

[@Davo-i1s]

This bypass and the the M! to Pacific Hwy link at Raymond Terrace are the 2 last sections of the Pacific Hiwy to be completed they will really sort out 2 holiday season bottlenecks. Getting from the end of the M! to Hexham and driving through Coffs Harbour is not that great when towing a van these upgradse should save a lot of stop starts and fuel wasting.

[@BigJayDogAdventures]

Totally makes sense

[@tinyear926]

How does this effect the titles of the small acreages, they used to have a beautiful quiet and private valley.

[@PatSmashYT]

My favourite part is how they built the entire Pacific Highway in like 20 years but then take about 10 to bypass Coffs Harbour and Beresfield

[@deanpd3402]

Not easy landscape in that area.

[@Roadrunnerz45]

these are the 2 most complex projects and were always going to be done last. what is interesting is the $2.2bn (1996) cost for the initial highway upgrade up and down the coast while this project alone will cost that much in 2024.

[@Davo-i1s]

The link from the M1 to Raymond Terrace took so long because successive governments never allocated the funding for it to go ahead. There were also issues in Coffs about how they were going to do it and getting the sign off from the locals. They have been going ahead in leaps and bounds since they started on the Hexham link.. We travel that road all the time and I,m surprised with just how much plant and equipment they have working on it.

Built a $30m bypass around my country town of 1200 pax. Town died. People didn’t even want but what would they know

[@rodneydrew9117]

plus people might loose some of there land or bush
