A Large Load Movement Could Affect Your Journey
5th June 2008 – On Saturday 21st June/ Sunday 22nd June and Sunday 29th June, three, large sizeable items of equipment are set to leave Wrexham industrial estate, bound for Acrefair, North Wales.
The large structure will be split into three identical pieces, measuring approximately 30m long x 5.7m wide x 5.2m high.
“Movements such as these take months of planning”, commented Geoff Morris, Commercial Manager, GEO Manufacturing Europe . “We work closely with the Highways Agency, local authorities and police forces across three counties to ensure the safe and smooth transit of our loads. Whilst we appreciate there is some disruption to local roadways during a load movement, we work hard to ensure this is kept to the minimum and publicise our activities in advance through local media”.
On each day, the load is scheduled to leave the Wrexham industrial estate at 7am and would expect to arrive at Acrefair about 12.00 noon. (*see high load route) The loads will be attended throughout by North Wales Police, Scottish Power and BT.
