With the Byron Street/Ballina Street intersection now complete and fully reopened, Ballina Shire Council’s crews will focus on Stage 5 of the Lennox Village Vision project at the Ballina Street and Park Lane intersection from Monday 17 July 2023.
Stage 5 works will include road and drainage upgrades, new paving, and landscaping. This stage is expected to take six weeks and will require the complete closure of the intersection to complete this work as quickly as possible.
Northbound motorists will need to continue along The Coast Road to access the Lennox Head CBD via Byron Street.
Temporary roundabout – Byron Street and Byron Bay Road (The Coast Road)
To assist with the expected increase in traffic due to the detour, a temporary roundabout will be installed at the intersection of Byron Street and Byron Bay Road (The Coast Road) from Friday 14 July 2023. Changed traffic conditions and reduced speed limits will be in place. Please follow all signage.
Other traffic arrangements:
- Motorists will be able to enter and exit Ballina Street via Byron Street. U-turn bays will be available on Park Lane and Ballina Street.
- Access to businesses on Park Lane will be maintained, however at time access may be changed or unavailable for short periods.
- Motorists will need to use alternative parking on either side of the construction zone.
- Pedestrian access will be maintained, however at times there may be pedestrian detours around construction zones.
- Water outages may be required. Impacted properties will be advised before outages occur.
- The bus stops located on Ballina Street (Lennox Park and Lennox Head Medical Centre) will be relocated to Pacific Parade, opposite The Lennox Hotel.
Council apologises for any inconvenience and thanks the community and businesses for their patience as we complete this major project.
