Pacific Highway to Kerr St, along Kerr Street and right in
River Street. This process requires escort vehicles and is
reversed for north bound travel.
Two other roads that could be added to the heavy vehicle
roads are the Pacific Highway and the Bruxner Highway.
Detour Routes
Within Table 5.2 (Affected Roadway Information Table) there
are some inconsistencies. It is proposed to use Old Bangalow
Road – East Street is a loop road diversion for traffic however
these roads do not meet. Another proposed loop that does not
meet is Gallans Road and Deadmans Creek Road.
Old Bangalow – East Street and Gallans Road and Deadmans
Creek Road removed as loop road diversions.
In row 6 of Page 27 is a region entitled “in the road reserve
adjacent to the Bruxner Highway.” It is considered that this
region is within the Alstoneville Bypass works and
confirmation should be sought.
Page 28 of the report states “possible to re route traffic through
adjacent paddocks.” I have reservations over this statement as
have the affected land owners granted concurrence for this
proposal and what will be the designated trafficable roadway?
It is observed that loop networks may exist by using
residential streets. It is preferred that detours route traffic to
collector roads and not to lesser hierarchical roads.
Ross Lane
Ross Lane is a distributor road serving as a conduit for
Lismore to Lennox Head. Ross Lane is also the RTA approved
Noted, all work on Highways will be undertaken with
appropriate consultation with RTA as described in sections
5.10 and 6.1.
This is proposed as an alternative on rural access ways only
and would be considered on a case by case basis after land
holder consultation.
Refer Section 5.4 Heavy Vehicle Routes which lists hierarchy of
roads
Any road closures or detours from Pacific Highway will
involve preparation of a TCP in close consultation with the
