Be careful loading: Transporting four tanks of beer can bring traffic to a standstill in Ontario

On Tuesday afternoon, drivers in southwestern Ontario were getting quite a headache as they loaded four huge tanks of beer on their way to London’s Labatt Brewery.

The load, which is more than 33 meters long and about 7 meters wide, hit the road at 9 am and will reach London between 1 pm and 3 pm.

The City of London has also issued a warning, saying the transport of tanks in two lanes could cause daytime delays and road closures.

Heavy loads will be transported through our city starting at 9am today. Route: Seaway/Harbour, E/B Exmouth to Murphy, S/B to Confederation, E/B to Mandoumin. It is expected to end by late afternoon. Please be patient and avoid this route if possible. thank you pic.twitter.com/UKN4cprEms
