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.

“Due to the nature of this operation, the exact timing of disruptions on each route will depend on delivery progress and is uncertain at this time,” London Transit said in a statement, adding that the operation could cause disruption to traffic on routes 1 and 2. , 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 13, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 25, 27, 31, 34, 90, 91, 92, 94 and 104.
