Port Rail Shuttle in the east leads into Salta Land. I believe Salta is responsible for getting the yard built and operational

And now you know how containers get held down.

I also once worked in the area, that bridge is notorious. IMHO the truck operator should pay the full cost of repairs and safety improvements, as it is their inability to avoid solid objects which puts the public at risk.

Hi Anthony, which eastern site are you referring to? As far as I’m aware loading and unloading for the Port Rail Shuttle will be based on Port of Melbourne land and port management is very keen to get the project fully operational.

Hopefully, the Port Rail Shuttle gets built, but there will be some lobbyists (mostly the trucking lobby) will try to scuttle the Port Rail Shuttle because it will mean that trucks will be off this particular road.

Lol – to be more accurate then, it didn’t get used.

And the rectangle cutout bit on the bottom of the container is called a ‘gooseneck tunnel’ – it provides extra clearance for a raised ‘gooseneck’ end of a truck trailer it fit beneath.

I used to work in the government building next door in your photos of Napier Street Bridge. It was always interesting when you saw a truck strike but super scary when walking on that footpath.
Port Rail Shuttle is interesting. I worked on the enabling works for the eastern site. But the developer has no appetite to build the yard at all. I worry that it will never get built unless they sell or the government builds it.
