CURRENT PROJECT UPDATES
River Street Duplication
Stage 2 from Henry Philp Avenue to Tweed Street is progressing well with most work set to be completed in early August 2023. The new traffic lights at the intersection of River Street and Brunswick Street with additional traffic signals and mast arms to be installed are expected to be operational in mid-August.
Kerr And Bentinck Street Intersection
The Kerr and Bentinck Street intersection upgrade is set to be completed in August. Installation of traffic lights is underway, with additional traffic signals and mast arms to be installed. Completed works include stormwater services, new kerbs, lane duplication, line marking, and protected right-hand turns.
Angels Beach Drive Recycled Water Main Renewal
Council’s Water team is renewing the recycled water main alongside Angels Beach Drive, between Sheather Street and the southern side of Prospect Bridge in Ballina. Traffic changes include reduction of the speed limit to 40km/h through sections of the construction zone with traffic control in place. Please allow extra travel time as short delays may be experienced. Pedestrian/cyclist access will be maintained along the shared path. This essential recycled water main renewal is part of Council’s ongoing commitment to improve our shire’s water assets and will improve the reliability of the local water network.
Moon Street Roadworks
A section of Moon Street in Ballina, between Bangalow Road and Fox Street, is being reconstructed. This project, which is part of Council’s ongoing Road Reconstruction program, involves a full dig out of the existing roadway and improved road sealing. The works extend from Bangalow Road to Fox Street and are expected to be completed by mid-August 2023 (weather permitting). During this time Moon Street, between Bangalow Road and Fox Street, will be closed to through-traffic with a detour in place. However, access will be maintained for residents in Moon Street and Treelands Crescent via Bangalow Road.
Crane And Martin Street Intersection
As part of Council’s Road Reconstruction program, the existing roadway at Crane and Martin Street intersection was completely excavated and replaced with a new bitumen seal. The school drop-off area on Crane Street, in front of the Ballina Public School administration building, has been sealed and designated parking spaces established through line markings. The pedestrian crossings at Martin Street and Crane Street have also been reinstated with fresh line markings, enhancing visibility for drivers and ensuring pedestrian safety.
