    Re: South Coast Road Report

    There seems to be much interest in this topic. So I checked with a half dozen drivers who have been out to the South Coast in the last week to get their take on it.

    They all felt it was no big deal. The ones who took the detour said it added about 20 minutes to the journey. Some opted to go through the road closure, using what is left of the bridge.

    None suggested that that the trip to MoBay would be substantially longer, so I hope Marko can clarify his comment. I read the letter that was in the Gleaner. The writer mentioned that the longer detour, compared to the other detour, was "almost four to five times the distance". If Marko would let us know why the trip to MoBay is four to five times longer, that would be great.

    For residential traffic, this has to be a burden especially during the holiday season. But for the most part, a visitor shouldn't be overly concerned about it.

    Marko,

    Your comment about the MoBay to Sav route is completely different than anything suggested by the OP Brownsd54 and the letter to the editor in the Gleaner.

    You state that the Sav to MoBay route takes 4 to 5 times longer. That would make the trip 6 hours longer. No one; tour operators, residents, ex-pats, etc, are making such a statement.

    The reason I asked you is for the benefit of our visitors who may want to travel from MoBay to Sav or thinking about a South Coast tour.


    To all,

    To clarify for our visitors who may be considering the MoBay to Sav trip, it is not true that it takes "at least 4-5 times as long to get to Mobay" from Sav. The trip is longer, but by 20 minutes or so, not the 6+ hours as has been suggested. It is a pain in the butt, not a day wasting vacation changer...

    Please enjoy your trips and tours and don't worry about the bridge!
