From Monday 1 to Thursday 4 June, a 640 tonne superload will be travelling from the Port of Melbourne to Loy Yang in Gippsland. The load will be travelling in stages across three nights to minimise disruptions.

This is a very complex operation due to the size and weight of the superload so there are no designated viewing opportunities. Please keep clear during transit and when the superload is parked as safety is our number one priority.

Plan your journey
The transport vehicle is 640 tonnes and 100 metres long which means it must travel very slowly, at a top speed of only 25km/h. At almost six metres wide it takes up the entire width of the road, so can’t be overtaken.

We will have traffic management officers and load escorts travelling with the superload for the entire journey, making sure your roads are safe during and after the move. They’ll be helping to manoeuvre the vehicle safely around corners, temporarily removing signage and lights, placing steel supports over existing drainage and then putting everything back in place once the superload has passed through.

The planned route for the superload is subject to change but is scheduled to travel along the following major arterial roads.

• Williamstown Road
• Ingles Street
• Pickles Street
• Beaconsfield Parade
