The ByPass is very hilly with steep climbs going south and is 41 km long.
Construction commenced in 2016, opened to traffic early September 2019.
A few photo taken through the ByPass from inside the vehicle.
At the end of the ByPass there is a service centre, so we stopped for some food, lunch and diesel then moved on.
A farm house and paddocks taken from the vehicle moving south.

ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteWill be the only way we Australians will be travelling for awhile - surfing or travelling the internet :)
Wow. I suspect before the bypass went in it was a long and windy road.
ReplyDeleteThe road went through Toowoomba before and was windy and the descent was steep going north on the outskirts.
DeleteWas wonderful to be able to drive on the new highway.
Hay que descansar, a las dos horas, cuando se va conduciendo por la carretera. Se recupera fuerzas y a su vez se descansa.
ReplyDeleteBesos
Definitely rest after 2 hours and sometimes before that.
Deletelooks like a fun ride.
ReplyDeleteExcellent.
DeleteIt certainly looks very new. If it is so steep, it must be on the western side of Toowoomba.
ReplyDeleteYes, on the western side which I forgot to mention in the post.
DeleteIt was exciting to travel on it Andrew.

Ob our way up we didn't know about the new highway and went the usual way into Toowoomba, it wasn't until we came back that we discovered we were on the new highway - great one too.
DeleteA vert dramatic cut thought the hills!
