DEAR News Of The Area
Andrew Simons’ letter (02/01/2026) states that “hundreds of trucks deemed too dangerous to travel through a tunnel can continue to daily rumble through our town centre.”
However, best estimates are that only 20 trucks per day will be prohibited from using the bypass (Class 1 and Class 2.1 dangerous goods vehicles).
The bypass will remove a very large number of heavy vehicles from the town centre.
The tunnels should ensure that they are not accompanied by unacceptable noise levels in West Coffs Harbour.
