Albury Wodonga bypass now open

10 /10 for that comment mate, spot on

to a point... it was unwarranted on here though, shame there's no edit function...

I had one ground me for half an hour 'cause "The driving hours have been reduced, any competent operator should have been aware of this"... When I questioned his knowledge of driving hours he tore my log book to pieces, lucky I run legal...

Not quite on the same wave length here mate

What did you need to edit ???

My original statement wasn't in keeping with the theme of the post... I feel I brought the tone down where it wasn't warranted, would've been nice to retract it.

Although I meant it and I think it will happen, I should be more positive about the fearless folk who manage our national highways, after all I'm only out there once a fortnight or less...

Yep,

It connects at the end of the freeway near Wodonga

Cheers Kev

Thanks,

It will make a difference.

From your comment I take it that the Bandiana by-pass bit has not opened yet and the project not yet finished?????????

Sorry for any misleading, yes, it is open.

Hi Doug

As much as I hate to say this, because the RTA is slow this is a federal road that is why little jonny opened it, they took over the hume so it could be done quicker, but when you have a state labour and a federal liberal they really don't want to make each other look to good, well nothing happens.

Have fun

The RTA has very little input into the Hume. It is a federal road.

If the feds wanted to finish the Vic & NSW bits at the same time they should have put in at least 3 times the money into into the NSW side that they did into the Vic side. Albury - Sydney is nearly twice the distance that Albury - Melbourne is. Add to that there not many hills to negotiate in Vic compared with NSW. The Sydney Mittagong stretch cost nearly as much as half the whole Vic stretch.

[1]I know all about the distance and Terrain in NSW and fully understand it would take much longer but not 15 to 20 years longer , [2] , yes it is a Federal Hwy , did you see Federal workers , No of course not , just a mob of lazy Ba$tard$ who was there for the sake of being there, I lived in Wagga Wagga 1973/80 and they had on TV about a 2klm section of the Sturt Hwy was going to be upgraded about 4/5 Klm from the Sturt/Hume and they said it will be completed in 2 years , ....IT TOOK 2 Y E A R S , what a waste of tax payers money, that would have been about 1977.

Our Prime Minister John Howard not little jonny, sorry but I have some repect for the man who runs our country Lib or Lab

It was only open to pedestrian traffic for the official opening. First booking happened 2 hours after opening. 1st prang was 4.5 hours

I don't use it much and certainly not all the way but can ping the Vic side when I eventually get on it. I'll submit htose results when i do them and won't be until next week sometime

cheers

Don't bother- the photo data predates the earth works commencing. Besides which the resolution for half the route is RS.
