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.
