Massive B-triple trucks eight times the length of a family car would be allowed to run on CityLink and many other main commuter routes, under a secret Department of Transport plan leaked to the State Opposition.
The leaked document shows the routes B-triples (prime movers towing three trailers that can weigh up to 82 tonnes and are up to 36 metres long) would take through Melbourne, and around Victoria.Along with freeways the proposed truck routes for these B-triples include Geelong Road, Ballarat Road Footscray Park and Flemington Park, then through Kensington and down through City Link to the Port.
