Wide Load Will Cause Traffic Snags

You may notice a wide load of equipment for the Irving Oil refinery making it's way through the city.

The wide load is 18 feet long and began moving from King William Road in Lorneville at 5 this morning.

The load will have a police escort along with Pedestrian and Traffic Services crews who will be removing traffic lights at certain intersections and Saint John Energy crews will be moving electrical wires.

Motorists should expect delays along the route.

The load is expected to reach the refinery by 1 this afternoon.

The load will travel King William Road to Ocean Westway to Manawagonish Road to Fairville Boulevard.

The route then takes the Reversing Falls Bridge to Douglas Avenue to Main Street North.

The load will go up Union Street via the Viaduct, then take Crown Street and Thorne Avenue to Bayside Drive.
