Wednesday January 8th & Thursday January 9th, 2025, motorists should be prepared for delays travelling northbound on Highway 63.
A large piece of industrial equipment 8.7 metres wide, 10.2 metres high and 47 metres long is being moved north to Fort McMurray from Edmonton.
Due to its large size and weight, it will only travel at 60 km/h and will use the entire width of the highway, including the shoulder.
Drivers should watch for guide vehicles and flag people as the load will be escorted by four vehicles to close intersections and facilitate its move. At times, it will also have a police escort to control traffic.
