Railway St to be B-double route

Gosford Council will arrange for advertisement in the Government Gazette to proclaim a B-double semi-trailer route for Railway St, Woy Woy, from Charlton St to Nagari Rd to the Woy Woy tip entrance.

A request was received by Council from Viking Waste Pty Ltd that a B-Double route to the Woy Woy tip be established.

The proposed route satisfied the route assessment guidelines for B-Doubles for land and shoulder widths and swept path requirements.

A trial run was carried out and was witnessed by representatives from Council, Roads and Maritime Services and NSW Police.

The consensus from those representatives was that the route be approved.

According to Gosford Council's Local Traffic Committee report of Monday, August 6, the route would reduce heavy vehicle movements throughout the day, reduce fuel consumption and pollution for the movement of freight and be more efficient.
