Drivers travelling between Edmonton and Strathcona County may experience delays as a large, slow-moving load moves north from Edmonton starting on Feb. 11.
The truck will travel at a maximum speed of 30 km/h. The load will move with pilot/guide vehicles, below posted speed limits using the entire width of the highway, including the shoulder. The load will also occasionally travel against the flow of traffic with lanes blocked off accordingly.
