This Thursday, December 7, motorists should be prepared for delays travelling northbound on Highway 63.
A large piece of industrial equipment weighing 483,000 kilograms and carried by a trailer with 352 wheels is being moved north to Fort McMurray. 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.
The load will be escorted by four pilot vehicles that will block off lanes, close intersections and facilitate its movement along the route.
For the most up-to-date road information and traffic delays call 511. Read the provincial news release for more: https://www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?xID=8940821885B01-E844-4F09-A25053A19A65F7ED
