The River Street Duplication project is progressing well, and work is almost complete on the section adjacent to Cedars Caravan Park (Phase 7).
Preliminary works have also started on the outbound lanes, with dig out and construction to commence the week of 16 August 2021. This next phase of works will proceed west from the Barlows Road roundabout to Quays Drive.
As Ballina Shire Council nears completion of the northern side (adjacent to Cedars Caravan Park – Phase 7) the following will remain in place:
- Outside travel lane is closed with vehicles travelling in a single lane through the Barlows Road roundabout. Note: the new inbound lanes are expected to open in September once all construction activities on the northern side of River Street, including final asphalt and line-marking, are completed.
- Street parking is restricted.
- Bus stop is temporarily located to Ballina Byron Islander Resort.
The right hand turn into Ronan Place will be permanently closed after the section adjacent to Mays Motors and Quayside Motors (Phase 8) is completed.
Landscaping of the median and approaches will occur over the next couple of months. Temporary lane closures will be required when landscaping is underway.
Council thanks the community for their continued patience as Ballina Shire Council completes this important road upgrade.
