Wind Turbines could affect traffic flow

By

The transportation of wind turbine components is likely to affect the free flow of traffic, starting today from 08:30.

The transportation of wind turbine components from the Port of Ngqura to the Grassridge Wind Farm on the Addo Road is likely to affect the free flow of traffic, from Monday, 4 August 2014.

Standing Committee Chairperson for Infrastructure, Engineering, Electricity and Energy, Councillor Andile Mfunda, said twenty wind turbines will be erected at PPC’s Grassridge Quarry with an installed capacity of 61,5 megawatt providing 40 000 households with electricity when completed.

“Henceforth every Monday, Wednesday and Friday one complete component will be transported to the project site by a convoy of heavy duty trucks leaving the port at 08:30. Every turbine has nine components in total.

Motorists are requested to note the schedule to avoid unnecessary delays,” Mfunda said.
