Coffs harbour bypass shot with dji mini 3 pro may 2024

The Coffs Harbour Bypass is a 14 kilometre upgrade to the Pacific Highway, consisting of a 12-kilometre bypass from the Englands Road intersection to Korora Hill and a two-kilometre upgrade of the existing Pacific Highway from Korora Hill to Sapphire Beach.

The route passes through North Boambee Valley via the Roberts Hill ridgeline, across the foothills of the Coffs Harbour basin west and north to Korora Hill. The project will include three tunnels at Roberts Hill, Shephards Lane and Gatelys Road and three interchanges at Englands Road, Coramba Road and Korora Hill.

for educational purposes this video was shot with a dji mini 3 pro 249g class which does allow to fly within the 5.5km restriction zone of a controlled airport as long you don't fly in takeoff and landing flight paths If your drone weighs more than 250 grams, you must fly at least 5.5 kilometers away from a controlled airport, which generally has a control tower at them.

I’m not sure I know what’s going on. The road still looks like it has a way to go?
