(a) Yes
(b) The Bridge over Roe Highway will be designed to accommodate oversize vehicles that use Roe Highway. Larger high wide loads do not use this section of Roe Highway and currently access Roe Highway via just north of the Bushmead Road Bridge via a dedicated ramp.
(c)-(d) Yes
(e)-(f) Traffic will be able to move north-south using the intersection between Great Eastern Highway Bypass, Abernethy Road and the southern extension of Lloyd Street, which will also be grade separated. North of Great Eastern Highway Bypass, Lloyd Street will provide access into the Hazelmere Industrial area and on the south side Abernethy Road will be upgraded and provide the north-south traffic movement. It is also proposed to extend Adelaide Street to connect with Abernethy Road, which will provide access into the Hazelmere Industrial area on the south side of Great Eastern Highway Bypass.
