More than 130 trucks a night will be exiting the Queen's Wharf casino and resort construction site and driving through Brisbane CBD from Monday.

The night-time truck haulage between 6.30pm and 2am is needed to transport materials from the site that were used as part of the excavation and shoring works.

In March, about 63,000 tonnes of material had been removed from the site and the machines were getting ready to move underground.

About 450,000 square metres of material will be removed over the next two years, which will be followed by foundation work to construct five basement levels, including car parking.
