Group/Agency Correspondence Concern/Comment Response detour route for the Pacific Highway. As Ross Lane has elevated hierarchical status any road closure would be strongly discouraged and any change of traffic conditions to Ross Lane requires extensive variable message sign notification. Pacific Highway The Pacific Highway within Ballina Shire has very little option for detour should total closure be applied. I seek to advise you that both Council and the RTA are reticent to implement any lane or full closures of the Pacific Highway without a comprehensive vehicle management plan being submitted for consideration. Please note that submission of such a plan does not predicate an approval. relevant Council and the RTA. Refer Sections 5.6, 5.10 and 6.1 and Annex A. The upgrade works include the existing powerline that crosses Ross Lane. As detailed in the TMP road closures can be avoided where the new conductors can be fed over the road using existing conductors, which is likely in this case. Any requirement for partial or total closure (in the unlikely event t is required) will be undertaken in accordance with the measures detailed in the TMP including Country Energy’s procedures provided at Annex A that include consultation with and approval off the relevant road authority. The RTA has provided a response regarding potential for road closures of highways. Refer Sections 5.6, 5.10 and 6.1 Transmission Line Crossing a Roadway and Table 6.1 Stopping or merging traffic – includes all concerns described. The Pacific Highway has only two detour points. The first is Ross Lane – Coast Road and the second is Teven – Tintebar Road. The latter has a right turn ban for south bound vehicles at the Teven Road/Pacific Highway intersection and has load limits on two existing bridges. Please note that the Pacific Highway is predominantly one lane (each way) with(in) the Shire and it conveys 18,000 – 23,000 vehicles per day. Any change in traffic lanes quickly results in substantial queuing.
Group/Agency Correspondence Concern/Comment Response Bruxner Highway It is noted in your report that at certain locations along the Bruxner Highway that lane or total road closures may apply. The Bruxner Highway has no option for detour and conveys 15,000 vehicles per day. As with the Pacific Highway, any change to traffic conditions results in instantaneous queuing. Refer Section 5.6 Transmission Line Crossing a Roadway and Table 6.1 Stopping or merging traffic – includes all concerns described. Both the Bruxner and Pacific Highways require RTA concurrence for any change of traffic movement. Traffic Control Plans A review of the traffic control plans revels additional signage is required. For example there is no speed reduction signage, no speed re-establishment, no advisory signage stating shoulder closed and the presence of an unprotected spotter is not supported. Traffic Control Plan included in Annex B is an example only and will be tailored for each region of work. Refer also Table 6.1 and Annex A for details regarding signage and content of TCPs and requirement for consultation with/approval of road authorities. Byron Shire Council Letter received Michael King dated 25 May 2010 A vehicle management plan should be prepared for each region of road works identifying how traffic is managed, provision for emergency vehicles, stop work conditions, queue lengths, hold times, delivery of material, handling and the like. There is no objection to the details outlined in the Construction Traffic Management Plan as long as: 1. Country Energy and all their contractors and subcontractors associated with the proposed works comply with the intent of the Plan 2. Country Energy and all their contractors and subcontractors associated with the proposed works comply with relevant regulations and guidelines pertaining to traffic control at work sites 3. Any traffic control facilities and associated signs and delineation are replaced/repaired as may be necessary Refer Section 5.6 incorporating vehicle management plan (and Annex A) requirement if road closures of Pacific or Bruxner Highway are to occur. Noted. Refer Table 4.1 Roles and Responsibilities and Table 6.1 Traffic Management Measures
