Community Connect Issue 47

Angels Beach Drive and Bangalow Road widening progresses

Bangalow Road, between Moon Street and the Angels Beach Drive/Bangalow Road roundabout, has reopened to two-way traffic. Dual lanes, in each direction, will open once line-marking has been completed, which is expected in late June.

Road widening works on Angels Beach Drive and the new connection to the industrial estate via Sheather Street is also complete.

Sheather Street has been extended to connect with Angels Beach Drive and once opened will be left turn in/left out only (no right turn permitted). The Sheather Street connection will open to traffic when line-marking and clean-up has been completed.

Works continuing

Intersection widening works are continuing on Bangalow Road north, between Kerr Street and the roundabout, where two-way traffic is being maintained.

Dual lanes will be constructed in this section with a new central concrete median. When these works are complete the Bangalow Road/Clark Street intersection will become left in/left out only (no right turn).

During the works residents should expect:

- Speed limit reduced to 40kmph in construction zones.

- Temporary pedestrian and cyclist detours in place around work zones.

To alleviate congestion and avoid travel delays please:

- Allow extra travel time.

- Avoid non-essential travel during peak morning and afternoon periods.

Council thanks local businesses and residents for their ongoing patience as these works are carried out.

The entire project is expected to be completed in July 2022 (weather and site conditions permitting).
