The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) has advised of upcoming restricted travel conditions on the Gateway Arterial Motorway Flyover at Bald Hills.
The works taking place include the removal and replacement of asphalt, and traffic camera installation.
Restrictions will apply to oversize and overmass vehicles operating under period and route-specific permits.
The restrictions will be in effect from:
- Sunday, February 9, 2025, to Tuesday February 11, 2025; and
- Monday, February 24, 2025 to Friday, March 7, 2025.
For vehicles operating under a period or route specific permit, operators must comply with the current conditions in the Conditions of Operation Database and any conditions outlined in the permit issued by the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR).
There will be unrestricted access for heavy vehicles with a Gross Combined Mass (GCM) greater than 4.5 tonnes and up to 68.5 tonnes, including buses, prime mover semi-trailers, and B-doubles traveling under Higher Mass Limits; and vehicles with a total width of 2.5 metres or less.
Vehicles with restricted access
Class 1 OSOM platform trailer combinations exceeding 59.5 tonnes will not be permitted to straddle the centreline during works, as per prevailing conditions. Any heavy vehicle or trailer combination exceeding 2.5 meters in width will also face restricted access.
TMR advises that these restrictions may result in significant travel delays for affected vehicles.
“Heavy vehicles that arrive on-site and meet the criteria for restricted access will be required to hold and remain in place until current activities are concluded,” said TMR.
