The Pimlico to Teven (Enabling Works) upgrade is a 2.3km length project which follows on from the Ballina Bypass project, as Stage 2.

This stage will facilitate the future upgrade of the Pacific Highway between Woodburn and Ballina, known as HW10 Pacific Highway. The construction of this upgrade was awarded to Leighton Contractors as a Construct only contract and major construction commenced in November 2013.

  • Building 1.3 kilometres of two lane single carriageway on the Bruxner Highway.
  • Realignment of 300 metres of two lane single carriageway on Pimlico Road to create a new temporary intersection with the Pacific Highway.
