Greetings. It's great, your work is in full swing. And everything is green. The mountains and the valley itself. We have -5 degrees and half a meter of snow.
@BigJayDogAdventures Frost and sunshine are a wonderful day! That's what Alexander Pushkin wrote. But about you, I would write "the ocean and the sun, the forest is wonderful. The road leads to a magical land."
Looking good can't wait to use, no traffic lights Maryborough Qld till Melbourne Vic woohoo, once this one and Hexham done, gunna be a lot better than the old Pacific Hwy days, might have to go back to truck driving
If you have a thousand dollars to pay for fuel. Don’t know why they are bothering now ( fifty years too late) bcse soon they are going to ban private vehicle ownership. It’s in their 2030 agenda. Carbon credits are going to dictate your ever move as well
I use to go to gold cost from Sydney every August school holidays in the mid 1960 me and my two sisters lying on a mattress in the back of dad’s HD Holden station wagon we would leave Sydney at 5am in the morning Coffs Harbour was half way 2 days to the gold cost now it’s about 9 hours that’s progress
""This and the Hexham bypass will make travelling between Sydney And Brisbane a dream rather than current nightmare"". I would say more to the NSW/QLD boarder. As the QLD side is a shambles right through to the sunshine coast, and the Bruce Hwy beyond that is the embarrassment, as a National M1
I have just driven over the border into QLD and found the shambles, I remember this being a shambles before covid, but now it is looking close to opening, point taken
@@BigJayDogAdventures I live in SEQLD for 30 yrs and all the road works and upgrades, even there was none going on it is always a shambles. QLD Government are always behind with their road developments.
Every time i drive past it looks like progress has been made; the savings to commercial vehicles and business will be huge and the risk factor of accidents reduced substantially in Coffs. Great progress and continuity unlike in QLD😂
Does anyone here remember when Julia Gillard promised the highway would be dual carriageway all the way from Sydney to QLD? Hint, it’s very bloody late!
Love your videos At the rate they are going they will need to look into realignment for quantification in both directions I move out of Coffs in 1992 & still have family here but this looks so slow going Not your fault but there never seems to be much action going on, is there a restriction of when you can fly like only when there is little or no work going on? or are your flights on weekends Still thanks for the video, I haven’t been back for awhile & it’s good to see how things are progressing👍👍👍😎😎😎
It will be the best part of the M1, because you wont need to drive through Coffs. You know what they say "the best part of coffs is the road out of it"
What trucking companies are making huge political donations? Do you seriously think Coffs Habor residents will be disappointed there's no heavy vehicles going through town 24 hours a day anymore? Anyone travelling north or south will benefit from quicker journey times and increased road safety.
Very picturesque. When finished it might be like driving through some of the motorway tunnels in Europe. Thanks for the video BJD.
Glad you enjoyed it
WOW, Thankyou Labor
It can't open soon enough. Awesome video.
Excellent video, Jay, thank you for the update.
No worries
Love these updates. Decades ago we used to drive up to Queensland via Coffs Harbour. It certainly will be an improvement.
Great to hear!

Great comment and you sound well read
The greenery is mostly banana plantations.
@AUmarcus Bananas are great.
Looking good, homie!

Still at Tiaro until that bypass is done?
Yup totally agree. Up this end on Sunshine Coast they have completed Gympie Bypass so it’s all open road South of Maryborough through to NSW YAY.

Awesome comment, we have come along way thanks to the hard work put in by the people before us
Wow!! Will make such a difference to the drive. Any idea when it’s expected to open?
2027 I believe
Great video mate
Great video
Cheers

She was not the only one who made that promise, the coalition was in power for years and did not do much.
All they need to do is bypass Coolongolook and it will be 100% motorway from Sydney to Brisbane
Be cheaper to just move Coolongolook 😂
Nabiac too.
Holy smokes, we cant wait to be free from all those trucks going through Coffs.
I’m sure the truckies will love it the most
I always think that when we go through Coffs, locals must hate all the trucks!
Would love to see the route marked on a map.
Love your videos

Coffs and Hexham make travelling from Brisbane to Sydney a nightmare.
Can't wait to see the solar farms 😢
The main people that benifit from bypasses are the trucking companies making huge political donations.

Care to cite any of those 'huge donations', given that it is public information?
Sounds like fake news! Where is the proof!
all the cowboy racing truckies are gonna be releived they wont have to slow down any more when it's finished.
