Changed Traffic Conditions Osom Vehicle Movement — John Renshaw Drive, Hunter Expressway And Golden Highway, Newcastle To Wellington

Oversize and Overmass (OSOM) deliveries are underway. The 80-metre long wind turbine blades are being transported from the Port of Newcastle to the Uungula Wind Farm development near Wellington in the Central West Orana. Multiple OSOM movements will leave each week, although the number may vary. 

The blade components are scheduled to leave the Port at night time to minimise impacts around the Newcastle precinct. These vehicles are then expected to be travelling between Warkworth and Wellington during daylight hours.

Traffic may be held, or there may be delays at the following key locations:

• The intersection of John Renshaw Dr and Hunter Expressway
• Golden Hwy at Mount Thorley, Denman, Merriwa and Saxa Road
• Mitchell Hwy onto Goolma Rd
• Goolma Rd and Twelve Mile Rd

Motorists are urged to slow down and exercise caution when approaching or passing an OSOM load.
