Toowoomba Second Range Crossing

IN 41 seconds you can fly the full length of the Toowoomba Second Range Crossing, thanks to a new drone video.

The Department of Transport and Main Roads Queensland published a video of the bypass on Facebook, showing the full length of the $1.6 billion project.

It starts out at the Warrego Hwy at Helidon Spa and runs to the Gore Hwy at Athol.

The post read: "Fly the full length of the Toowoomba Second Range Crossing in 41 seconds. It'll take a bit longer than this once we're done but it'll be a super-efficient alternative crossing of the Toowoomba Range for all classes of heavy and super heavy vehicles."

Claire Kimlin said: "Wow it's mammoth, just amazing."

Margaret Freestun said: "A great feat of engineering. Thanks MRD for improving our roads."

Paul Ando Anderson said: "Wow can't wait to use this road and thank you."
