FROM Monday, large trucks carrying thousands of cubic metres of fill will start delivering six-days-a-week, during daytime hours, to the London Circuit Light Rail Stage 2A construction site.

The government says the fill will be used to build a new side track that will allow motorists to continue using Commonwealth Avenue while the bridges over London Circuit are demolished.

Around 60,000 cubic metres of material will be used to create a level intersection between Commonwealth Avenue and London Circuit. The government has previously said the cost of raising London Circuit would be $100 million.

The government says about 40 trucks a day will carry fill on arterial roads between a construction site at Barton to both site entrances on Constitution Avenue and Edinburgh Avenue from Monday to Friday, between 7am and 5pm and Saturdays between 7am and 1pm.

When the side track is completed later this year, traffic will be diverted to the new road to maintain two lanes of traffic on Commonwealth Avenue in each direction, the government says.
