- This Awesome Project is progressing well.
Its very interesting how they have left the Ridgetop in place and are tunneling through.
This Project will save 11 minutes per journey but it would much more in times of holidays.

Amazing piece of Engineering. Thanks for posting.
It’s great
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers
Thanks Jay for all of the updates you do.
No problem
Fantastic, thank you.
Have gone thru Coffs a few times - Yuck!!!
Truckies will love it even better!!!
VERY informative JD
GOOD JOB 👍
Cheers
Very informative video, thanks for sharing JD.
No Worries
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.
it's not the road it's the idiots driver's just 11 minutes wow then all the town will suffer
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.
Good to hear that
If you have had to go through Coffs in the Christmas slow grind ,you would know that it is needed.
@@michaelcollins8330 Not just at Christmas!
Great video mate, any chance you could stop off at Hexham on the way home?
Yeah definitely
@@BigJayDogAdventures And maybe the Newcastle Inner City Bypass :) ... cause your videos are awesome!!
Any chance you can do the M6 in Sydney?

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 🫡
Yes I agree
Progress is looking great. Would you be able to do a vid covering the Raymond Terrace bypass?
Just finished, check around 3:30pm cheers
Very impressive and long over due like a lot of bottle necks around our nation.
The engineering is enormous especially to allow for rain
Yes that’s very true
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.
Totally makes sense
How does this effect the titles of the small acreages, they used to have a beautiful quiet and private valley.
In Queensland these projects only occur in the south east. The rest of the state just gets to pay for it.
and if you don't believe me the next recommended video is the Coomera (Gold Coast) connector. Where Cairns needed an overpass they got a pedestrian bridge (I am not kidding).
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
Not easy landscape in that area.
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.
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.
Where the mountains meet the sea.
plus people might loose some of there land or bush
Built a $30m bypass around my country town of 1200 pax. Town died. People didn’t even want but what would they know
Apply for an EV fast charging unit to be installed near the town’s cafes. Put a sign on the highway. Guaranteed the town will get increased traffic over time.
@@markboscawen8330 have very big signs already. Conservative estimation of one car in every 100 is an EV so that wouldn’t make a difference even without a bypass
@@Duan-m6n a segment that will grow over time. Obviously what your town has to offer isn’t attracting current ICE drivers in. Not trying anything new will keep yield ing the same result. Opportunities are out there to tap an emerging market.
@@markboscawen8330 there aren’t many ice cars in the country. Distances to vast. This town was where St Mary MacKillop started the St Joseph schools and where the Chinese left their mark during gold rush in Ballarat
@@Duan-m6n if no chargers within cooee, all the more reason for the town to see if a subsidy to get one is available.
As for EV sales, don’t believe all the click bait. Sales to end of September are 6% up on last year. Whilst not as high as last years 8% growth the segment is still growing strongly.
EVs make-up about 2% of all vehicles on the road at the moment. But that % is steadily increasing. As will the need for charging points. Even in regional SA.
