‘Very slow’ truck and tractor convoy set to cause headaches for motorists

A convoy of trucks and tractors heading from Ballan to Melbourne as part of a protest are set to cause headaches for motorists this morning.

They’ll be travelling at just 40 kilometres an hour over the West Gate Bridge.

“They’re pretty fired up and they’ll be travelling very slowly,” 3AW reporter on the Western Freeway, Gabrielle Hodson, told Ross and Russel.
