The slow rumble of 70,000 transit mixer truck will start to build around Hornsby later this month and reach a maximum hourly rate of 35 trucks going each way to and from the plant to the various project sites along Pennant Hills Rd.
A commercial concrete batching plant has been built at the Hornsby Council waste management depot on Beaumont Rd, to provide fresh concrete for the 9km twin tunnel motorway project.
NorthConnex will use about 160,000 cubic metres of concrete for structural elements and 200,000 cubic metres of concrete to line the tunnel.
A recent traffic study “indicated no additional queuing or delays” are expected at traffic lights along the concrete haul route as a result of the project, an RMS spokeswoman said.
“Deliveries will be made using approved routes including the M1 Motorway and Pennant Hills Rd during standard work hours,” she said. “No local residential roads will be used.”
The average number of trucks headed west on Pennant Hills Rd (east of Beecroft Rd) each hour is about 250, RMS data shows.
Concrete delivery is scheduled to start at the end of October and will peak in late 2017 with up to 70 truck movements per hour (in and out).
There are about 70,000 to 75,000 truck movements expected with the plant operating 24/7 until the end of the project in 2019.
Trucks hauling spoil to fill Hornsby Quarry will also use the M1 Pacific Motorway but George St and Bridge Rd will be used during off peak hours to minimise congestion, the RMS spokeswoman said. During peak hours the “preferred route” for Quarry trucks will be Bridge Rd, Jersey St North and Windybanks Rd.
Hornsby Mayor Steve Russell acknowledges it may inconvenience people.
“It’s a legitimate concern and I understand that but we have to go through some disruption for the massive gain of NorthConnex,” Mr Russell said.
Hornsby Council leased their land for the plant to NorthConnex for $187,500 per year, for three years, plus a three per cent annual increase.
“It’s income for the ratepayers of Hornsby,” Mr Russell said. “We’ve done a pretty good deal there, that land was just sitting there.”
The site will be remediated and become a waste facility once the project is finished, he said.
The site is close to sand and gravel sources at Peats Ridge and that reduces traffic haulage and the delivery of raw materials through Sydney, a NorthConnex notice said.
“Once tunnel breakthrough occurs, some concrete trucks will be able to access the tunnel through the Northern Interchange,” the note said.
The site will house the concrete plant, office facilities, material storage, wash down area, storage silos and concrete testing facilities.
The plant was approved by the Department of Planning and Environment.
