A ‘superload’ has started its long, slow journey through parts of Victoria and motorists have been warned to expect traffic delays as it makes its 224km trek. 7NEWS
The name is given to an oversized truck with a permit to carry a mass of 250 tonnes or more, and it takes up to six months of significant planning to prepare for a superload journey.
The massive 370-tonne, 78m long superload left the Port of Geelong on Sunday at 11pm, to start its two-day, 224km journey to Tarrone.The superload powers along at an average speed of 40km/h to 60km/h and, due to its sheer size, is very difficult to pass.This superload travelled from Glen Waverley to the Dundonnell Wind Farm in August 2019.The superload travelled all night on Sunday before parking in Cobden at 5am and will continue on from 11pm on Monday.
