I am writing to notify you of important upcoming Viking Link project activities due to take place in your area.
Viking Link, working with Balfour Beatty and Allelys, will be carrying out activities to transport cable drums from the Port of Boston to secure compound locations off the A1111, A1104 and the A52 at Sandilands, via Alford.
Due to the size and weight of the equipment, specialist large transportation vehicles are required which will affect the roads along the route of travel. This route has been carefully planned to ensure it is suitable and safe for other road users, local communities, our employees and contractors. Please find details of the schedule of movements below:
