Traffic heading into Byron Bay has slowed down as the first day of the Byron Writers Festival kicks off. The traffic situation has been aggravated by a truck crash on Ewingsdale Road that is causing southbound traffic queues of up to four kilometres. It is understood that the truck ran off the road near the old Sunnybrand chicken farm on Ewingsdale Road.
There have also been delays for northbound drivers on Hinterland Way accessing the M1 due to the congestion at the roundabouts at the entrance and exit to the M1 at the Byron Bay slip roads.
