MOTORISTS are advised of changed traffic conditions on Appin Road, Princes Highway and the M1 Princes Motorway this Sunday as hundreds of trucks and motorbikes take part in the annual Illawarra Convoy.

The Illawarra Convoy is the largest truck and motorbike Convoy in the Southern Hemisphere.

The event is also one of the largest regional one day fundraisers in the country supporting individuals and families affected by potentially life threatening medical conditions, charities that work with these people, and local hospitals. For further information visit: Illawarra Convoy

The event will take place on Sunday 17 November between 4.30am and 3.30pm travelling from Appin and Bulli Tops to Shellharbour Airport in Albion Park Rail. Speed reductions will be in place at various times on sections of Appin Rd, M1 Princes Motorway and Princes Highway.

The Princes Highway will be closed between Helensburgh and Maddens Plains while trucks prepare for the start of the event. The right hand turn from Mount Ousley Road onto the M1 Motorway northbound will also be closed between 7am and 12pm.

The convoy will travel in one lane along Appin Road, Old Princes Highway, M1 Princes Motorway, Masters Road, Five Islands Road, King Street, Windang Road, Shellharbour Road, Lake Entrance Road, New Lake Entrance Road and Princes Highway during the event.

A timely reminder that heavy vehicles require more room to stop, turn and have larger blind spots. Motorists are reminded to exercise caution as they share the roads with the convoy vehicles and allow extra travel time in the area.
