Yeah its been a big success depending on how that is measured.
There is currently a lot of resentment from locals and from some businesses as the volume of traffic and holidaymakers doesnt equate to volume of income for those businesses on the route. Undoubtedly some do like accomodation providers but a huge percentage seem to be wild campers / motorhomes / caravanners who are coming fully loaded and not spending very much on the route.
This combined with the lack of infrastructure improvements (roads, toilets etc) is causing many locals real difficulties.
