The Brisbane City Council objects to trucks carrying soil through the inner city on Sundays during the construction of the Cross River Rail project.
BCC’s infrastructure committee chair David McLachlan says allowing 100s of trucks in the city on the weekend will hinder the inner-city’s economic recovery, as people would be less likely to partake in the city’s recreational activities.
The state’s Coordinator-General, Toni Power, claims the Sunday works will speed up construction, and prevent traffic build-up during the week.
