Ross Lane + Byron Bay Road

As part of Transport for NSW's Safer Roads Program, Ballina Shire Council is undertaking a suite of road safety upgrades on Ross Lane and Byron Bay Road to improve safety for motorists and cyclists.

The existing sealed shoulder and clear zone widths (vehicle runoff areas free of obstructions) are less than desirable and have contributed to a poor vehicle collision history on the route.

The works will include:

• shoulder widening
• clear zone improvements
• chevron alignment markers
• improved curve signage
• non-skid road surface treatments
• superelevation curve improvements
• painted and raised median

Timeline

Stage 1 works will be completed in April 2023.

Stage 2 is expected to be completed by late-2023.

Stage 3 works will follow Stage 2 and require finalisation of flood mitigation options and further funding.
