Subscriber only The first stage of a $27m project to duplicate River Street in Ballina is now under way. Once complete, the work is expected to ease traffic congestion between the Pacific Highway at West Ballina and Kerr Street in Ballina, marking a significant investment to improve the local road network. River Street carries the largest volume of traffic in and out of Ballina and is at capacity during peak hours, the council explains on its website. Traffic flow recorded for 2019 was 26,100 vehicles per day and traffic modelling predicts traffic flow in 2036 will be 29,500 vehicles per day. Two-lane arterial roads have the capacity for around 18,000 vehicles per day whereas a four-lane road can cater for 36,000 vehicles per day.
