Traffic notification — oversize load on Kempsey-Armidale Road

April 2024

The community is advised that an oversize load will be moving along the Kempsey-Armidale Road between Blackbird Flat and George's Junction on Wednesday 24 April 2024.

The load will be escorted by pilot vehicles and is scheduled to depart Blackbird Flat at 7.30am.
 
The movement of this oversized load may result in us having to close the road in some sections between Smiths Flat and George’s Junction. Vehicles will have lights on, signs will be in place, and contact with vehicles can be made using channel 17 UHF. We will also have spotters at the front and rear of the vehicle.
 
This work is part of mobilisation of the geotechnical drilling investigations for the lower reservoir. For clarity, this is the oversize load that was originally scheduled to move through on Friday 19 April 2024.

We thank residents for their patience as we move vehicles through this area. Please drive safely.
