The Coffs Harbour bypass is a 14-kilometre motorway project designed to divert Pacific Highway traffic west of the Coffs Harbour urban area, improving road safety, freight efficiency and reducing congestion through the city centre. The project includes tunnels, 21 bridges, new interchanges and upgraded sections of highway between Englands Road and Sapphire Beach. NSW Government updates state the bypass is expected to open to traffic by the end of 2026.
