The heaviest load ever hit the Alberta highways is expected to begin its four-day turn Sunday night.
The petrochemical development equipment, called separator, weighs more than 800 tons and measures nearly 100 meters long.
The move will take four days between Edmonton and the industrial center just outside Fort Saskatchewan.
The Alberta Minister of Transport stated that most of the materials used to make the cleaver came directly from the province, which he is proud of.
"I am very proud of all the people and businesses that are working to keep our economy moving forward. Obviously, they are not afraid of large-scale and ambitious projects, "said Minister Brian Mason.
Since the load will move below the indicated speed limit and may stop from time to time, drivers behind it may experience delays.
In some places along the planned route, the load will move against the flow of traffic, which will result in blockage of the tracks.
The charge is about the size of a CFL football field and will use the full width of a two-lane highway including the aisle.
Here is the route provided by the Government of Alberta:
-
east on 51th Avenue to Roper Road
-
south on 75 street
-
east on Whitemud Drive to Anthony Henday Drive
-
south on Anthony Henday Drive to the Highway 14
-

-

The 511Alberta Twitter account also reminded motorists of waiting for delays when the tour was heading to its final destination.
