ROAD AND STORMWATER PROJECTS
KERR/BENTINCK STREET UPGRADE Ballina Shire Council has received $807,000 in funding through the NSW Government’s Safer Roads program to upgrade the intersection of Kerr and Bentinck Streets in Ballina. The NSW Safer Roads Program targets sections of roads or intersections with a high casualty accident record.
COMPLETED PROJECTS TAMARIND DRIVE – TINTENBAR INTERSECTION RIVERBANK ROAD, PIMLICO SERPENTINE CARPARK, BALLINA RIVER DRIVE, EAST WARDELL NORTH CREEK ROAD BOAT RAMP, LENNOX HEAD STEWART STREET, LENNOX HEAD
With high traffic volumes on Kerr Street, it is difficult for road users at the intersection to find safe gaps in the traffic. This has resulted in a number of crashes and injuries to motorists. Traffic lights are considered the best option to improve safety for road users while minimising disruption to the traffic flows in Kerr Street. The upgrade will improve motorist and pedestrian safety through the following works:
Installation of protected right-turn lanes from Kerr Street into Bentinck Street Upgrade Kerr Street from two lanes to four, between Russell Street and Bentinck Street Installation of traffic lights at the intersection of Kerr and Bentinck Streets, including signalised pedestrian crossings. Works are expected to commence in the middle of the year and continue until December 2022. Residents are strongly encouraged to register for emailed project updates at ballina. nsw.gov.au/KerrBentinckStreetUpgrade
