Construction teams would move trucks carrying excavated material from construction sites to the arterial road network as quickly and efficiently as possible. Examples of roads proposed to be used by construction traffic include Kensington Road, Dynon Road, Flemington Road, CityLink, Lonsdale Street, King Street, Batman Avenue, Kings Way, St Kilda Road, Montague Street and Toorak Road. The predicted daily truck movements for Melbourne Metro would not create substantial increases in daily traffic volumes on these arterial roads.

I don't know Melbourne roads but do any of these head out our way.

Don't like the comment about spoil disposal within a reasonable distance! Is the other end of the state a reasonable distance?

The management and safe disposal of potentially large volumes of spoil materials (including clean fill, Prescribed Industrial Waste and acid sulfate soil and rock) would be a significant logistical issue for Melbourne Metro. However, with the adoption of the recommended Environmental Performance Requirements and the implementation of the proposed mitigation measures, the scope of spoil management activities required is considered manageable and there is available capacity for spoil disposal within a reasonable distance of the CBD (refer to the draft Spoil Management Strategy in Technical Appendix Q). Traffic impacts for the haulage of spoil to disposal locations have also been assessed (see Technical Appendix D Transport).
