Description: For sixty years, the residents of Coffs Harbour waited for relief from the highway running through their town. This compelling account traces the ambitious engineering project that finally delivered it, from the geological challenges of tunnelling through coastal hills to the intricate work of building bridges, managing ecological impacts, and keeping a community functioning alongside a massive construction zone. A fascinating look at how modern infrastructure is planned, built, and ultimately woven into the fabric of a place, this book reveals the human stories and technical ingenuity behind one of Australia's most anticipated road projects.
