Spanning eight lanes of traffic, the bridge honours the memory of local student Luke Bowen.
The new bridge replaces the older and shorter bridge of the same name, and now provides a safer, more accessible connection across the Pacific Highway.
This includes direct access to a new bus interchange being built near Kororo Public School.
The bridge stands as both a vital piece of infrastructure and a deeply meaningful tribute - a place of remembrance for Luke, and a commitment to a safer future for all members of the community.
The Coffs Harbour Bypass is a $2.2 billion project jointly funded by the Australian and New South Wales governments.
The Australian Government is contributing $1.76 billion, while the NSW Government is providing the remaining $440 million.
Once complete, the bypass will remove thousands of vehicles from the city centre, improve traffic flow and significantly reduce travel times.
