Oversized load begins trek to Fort Mac

Starting Tuesday, a massive container will be shipped across northern Alberta, from Edmonton to a work site north of Fort McMurray. It will take a week to move the  85 metres long shipment along the highway, with traffic delays expected on the route.

Here is a map of the route that the shipment will take, with different days shown in different colours, to help you avoid any traffic snarls.

If you do spot the load on the highway, be sure to send us a picture (after pulling over), and we'll add it to the map as we track its progress across the province.
