Motorists in Greenacre are facing changed traffic conditions on Brunker Road this morning, with an oversize vehicle causing significant disruption to eastbound traffic at its intersection with the Hume Highway.

Transport for NSW has reported that two eastbound lanes, Lane 2 and Lane 3, are currently closed to facilitate the movement or presence of the large vehicle. Drivers are being advised to exercise caution in the area and are able to utilise the left-turn lane to pass the oversize vehicle.

The Hume Highway is a major arterial road, and its intersection with Brunker Road often experiences considerable traffic volumes, making incidents like this particularly impactful for local commuters. Live traffic cameras are strategically positioned along the Hume Highway in Greenacre, highlighting the importance of this traffic corridor.

The movement of oversize and/or overmass (OSOM) vehicles in NSW is subject to strict regulations by Transport for NSW and the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR). Depending on their dimensions and weight, these vehicles typically require special permits and may even necessitate pilot vehicles or a detailed Transport Management Plan to ensure safe passage and minimise road impact. While details of this specific vehicle's requirements are not immediately available, such measures are crucial for managing large loads on the state's road network, which includes Brunker Road in Greenacre.

Authorities are on site managing the unplanned incident. Motorists travelling through Greenacre should allow for extra travel time and check Live Traffic NSW for real-time updates before heading out.
