Horsham Highway Patrol is urging motorists not to park along McPherson Street tomorrow afternoon, after confirming the route the Superload will take through the city on its way to Murra Warra.

Acting Sergeant Michael Ryan said the 320-tonne haul would enter Horsham in the eastern lanes of Stawell Road, head straight up McPherson Street, turn left at Baillie Street and continue onto Dimboola Road, before turning right on the Borung Highway and then onto Dimboola-Minyip Road.

“We expect there will be five-to-ten minute delays at the intersections on O’Callaghan’s Parade and Baillie Street,” Acting Sergeant Ryan said.

“The Transport Safety Service will handle the traffic operations, but we will be monitoring to make sure traffic keeps flowing steadily. We ask drivers are aware not to get in the way while the load is going through, so don’t park your cars near the intersections where it will be going onto the wrong side of the road.”

Acting Sergeant Ryan said the estimated arrival time of the Superload of 2pm could be subject to change.

“We won’t know exactly what time it will come until it reaches Stawell, but we’re hoping it gets here before school ends,” he said.

THURSDAY: Wimmera motorists are being urged to plan their trips across the region around a special delivery on Tuesday.

A transformer for the under-construction wind farm at Murra Warra begins its three-day journey to the Wimmera from the Melbourne suburb of Glen Waverley at 11pm on Sunday.

A spokesman for VicRoads traffic said the transformer would be hauled by three trucks in an operation spanning three days to reduce the impact on the road network.

"The final leg of the journey will start at 7am on Tuesday, 19 February, from Bungaree - west of Ballarat - and arrive in Horsham at approximately 2pm, where it will make its way through the town," the spokesman said.

"Keep a safe distance from the convoy and consider not travelling through the area between 2pm and 3pm as the superload passes through. From Horsham, it will continue on to Murra Warra, arriving at 4pm on February 19.

"If you need to travel at these times, we recommend you consider changing the start time of your journey, or plan ahead by allowing 45 minutes additional travel time as traffic will not be able to pass the superload."

The spokesman said steel supports would be placed over existing drains to ensure the convoy had the safest possible journey and didn’t damage important infrastructure on the way through.
