Consultation has concluded

*** This project is now complete. Eggins Lane is open to traffic and all works are finished. A photo of the finished lane can be found under photos and maps****

Lismore City Council is undertaking roadworks in Eggins Lane to improve the laneway for local businesses, motorists and pedestrians visiting the laneways precinct.

***Regular updates on progress are posted under the Community Updates tab below.

These roadworks involve reconstructing the entire length of Eggins Lane that runs parallel with Keen Street south from Larkin Lane.

The project will address long-standing drainage issues in Eggins Lane as well as improve the poor condition of the road surface. Work will include:

  • Removing old drainage infrastructure such as piping, inlet pits, kerb and gutter, and driveway gutter bridges.
  • Installing new underground roof-water connections, stormwater piping and inlet pits.
  • Reconstructing the road surface and sealing.

This project is funded by the Federal Government and has been brought forward to ensure these essential roadworks are completed prior to the commencement of the Lismore Laneways Project.

The Lismore Laneways Project includes beautification, art installations and amenity improvements such as new lighting and greenery for the inner-city laneways. Council decided to undertake the Eggins Lane roadworks prior to these improvements being implemented so that the entire precinct benefits from both projects and disruption to businesses is limited.

If you have any questions or would like further information, please ask our staff via the Q&A below or phone Project Manager Joe Lokic from BASEC Engineering on mobile number 0436 660 035.

This project is proudly funded by the Australian Government through its Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program.

    In the last few weeks, work on Eggins Lane Stage 2 has been affected by rain. We also needed to change the electrical design which caused some delay. At this stage, the road will be open to traffic on 12 August, assuming good weather. Civil works will be complete this week (drainage and earthworks,) concrete works have commenced and asphalt works are planned for mid August. All work will be complete by late August. We know this has all taken longer than originally estimated and we thank you for your patience.

    Stage 1 of the Eggins Lane roadworks is nearing completion. Sub base is now being poured and this then has to be left to set or cure for a week. The final stage is asphalting and, providing the weather is kind to us, that work will be completed by the week of 24 May. This means that the area of Eggins Lane marked as Stage 1 in our map will be open to traffic in the week of 24 May. Stage 2 will commence in that same week. During Stage 2, the section of Eggins Lane from County Lane to Larkins Lane will be closed.

    If you have any concerns regarding access to your business for deliveries during Stage 2, or any other concerns please contact Project Manager, Joe Lokic on 0436 660 035. He will work with you to find solutions wherever possible.

    Work commenced on site in early March and the lane way from County Lane around to Carrington Street is now closed to the public. So far, the old pavement material has been removed and new storm water drainage has been installed. Concrete works associated with the construction of the new pavement are due to commence next month. The wet weather is obviously hampering progress but Jamie Blair's team are keeping in contact with business owners to iron out any issues and to update them on progress.
