As many of our Lismore App users commute either for work or for fun to Ballina and the Gold Coast at all times of the day and night, there are two road work notices that you should be aware of.

1. Alstonville to Uralba: Motorists are advised of changed traffic conditions from Sunday on the Bruxner Highway between Alstonville and Uralba while overnight road survey work is carried out. To minimise impacts to traffic, work will be carried out between 6pm and 6am from Sunday to Thursday over two weeks from Sunday 17 to Thursday 28 November. Traffic will be reduced to one lane, alternate flow, with traffic control and reduced speed limits in place for the safety of workers and motorists. Motorists are advised to drive to the conditions, and follow the direction of signs and traffic control.
2. St Helena Tunnel Pacific Hwy: Transport for NSW advises motorists of changed traffic conditions on the Pacific Highway at the St Helena Tunnel next week for essential maintenance work to be carried out. To reduce impacts to motorists, the north and southbound lanes of the tunnel will be closed on Monday 18 November between 7pm and 5am. North and southbound traffic will be diverted onto the Hinterland Way between the Byron Road interchange at Bangalow and the Ewingsdale Road interchange at Ewingsdale. Motorists are advised to allow up to 10 minutes additional travel time for both diversions, to drive to the conditions and follow the direction of signs and traffic control.

A scheduled closure for Sunday 17 November has been called off because of potential impacts on the network from bushfires.

Routine maintenance of the St Helena Tunnel is carried out every three months and involves a range of measures such as inspecting the various operating and safety systems.
