Very true about the road works. I will add though, that the road has improved dramamtically over the years. I do recall a time when I used to drive that road about 4-5 times a year that each time I used it the road works were in a different spot. When I first started driving along the Pac Hwy, (about 17 years ago), I was considered the most dangerous road in the country IIRC.
As for continued road works, isn't that road part of the Federal Highway? Could explain the ongoing maintenance and upgrading. Bearing in mind that it is a 1000 km stretch from Brissy to Sydney.
Oh, BTW BrisMike, I agree about the Newcastle stretch. And how about that stretch of white lines across the road to make you slow right down? PITA of stretch.
