Schedule for night-time deliveries
Large loads transporting electro-mechanical components from Port Kembla via Cooma and the Snowy Mountains Highway are being delivered to Lobs Hole.
The following overnight loads are scheduled*:
No loads currently scheduled
Transporting major components
Delivery of major components to remote Snowy 2.0 project sites will ramp up in 2026. There will be an increase in movements of oversized loads and these may involve some minor delays for motorists. Some of these loads will involve disruption to traffic through Cooma and the Snowy Mountains Highway.
All oversize moves will be transported under pilot escort and at times, depending on size, police escort. Please always adhere to directions from pilots and NSW Police.
Large, escorted loads will be transported during the daytime and at night. To minimise disruptions to road users and the community, loads wider than 4-metres will travel on the Snowy Mountains Highway at night.
The oversized loads will transport the following major components and material:
electro-mechanical components to build turbine units for the underground power station at Lobs Hole
steel components for penstocks at Lobs Hole
large plant & equipment to all work sites
spoil from Marica to Rock Forest.
As work continues on Snowy 2.0 there is ongoing, increased construction traffic in the project area, specifically on the:
Monaro Highway
Snowy Mountains Highway
Link Road, Kiandra
Tantangara Road
Rock Forest, near entrance to national park.
There will also be increased traffic, including heavy vehicle movements, in and around:
Cooma
Adaminaby
Polo Flat industrial area
Tumut
Talbingo Range
Bombala
Dalgety
Berridale
Port of Eden
Trucks on country roads
Residents in Dalgety, Berridale and Adaminaby may see an increase in heavy vehicles travelling along country roads from Maffra and Braemar Bay to the Rock Forest project site on the Snowy Mountains Highway, 12km west of Adaminaby.
This will involve an increase in trucks on the following local roads:
The Snowy River Way
Dalgety Road
Kosciuszko Road
Eucumbene Road
Rocky Plain Road
Middlingbank Road
Monaro Highway
Princes Highway
Imlay Road
Edrom Road
Traffic Management
Arrangements to manage traffic are in place to minimise safety risks for road users during periods of high traffic flow. Road conditions are also monitored to ensure safety and reliability.
There may be some short-term restrictions applied to certain roads during construction of the project to facilitate the movement of large equipment.
Please note: Severe weather warnings and heavy snowfalls across the Snowy Mountains may impact road conditions. Be careful, be patient and drive to conditions.
Road Safety
Severe weather warning and heavy snowfalls across the Snowy Mountains may impact road conditions throughout the year. Drivers may encounter rapidly changing conditions and hazards including snow, ice, wind, fog, black ice and wildlife on local roads.
Our dedicated Traffic team continuously monitors road conditions and weather forecasts to ensure drivers can travel safely to and from remote worksites, and we regularly adjust delivery schedules to suit conditions.
All project vehicles have safety technology installed to assist driver safety, such as in-vehicle monitoring system.
We assist local authorities by completing safety audits of both roads and conditions, providing data to assist with maintenance.
We constantly monitor our traffic operations and audit transport operators to ensure compliance with national road safely laws.
During winter and the annual ski season, we avoid oversize load deliveries on peak travel days, reduce the number of vehicles on the road and introduce restricted hours on the road for project vehicles. During the peak winter period, we also clear snow and ice from roads surrounding the project sites.
Tips to keep safe near heavy vehicles
Our traffic team continuously monitors road conditions and weather forecasts so drivers can travel safely.
Be truck aware – wait until it’s safe to overtake
Drive to conditions – be alert to rapid changes in weather, tourist traffic and wildlife
Please be patient as our project trucks will pull over as soon as possible so you can safely pass
Maintain a safe and visible distance behind trucks and avoid blind spots. If you can’t see their mirrors they can’t see you
Do not stop in slow turnout bays - these are designed for trucks and slower vehicles to pull over so that traffic can overtake
Always use headlights to increase your visibility to other drivers
If you have a UHF handset please use Channel 40 to hear call-ups by heavy vehicle drivers
