People out driving late at night in the coming months might see wind turbine blades making their way through Galway City.
An abnormal load permit has been granted for wind turbine blades and sections from Galway Harbour to the M6 City Boundary.
The deliveries, which began this weekend, will take place between 12am – 1am, five days a week, Sunday – Thursday.
Their route will take them from the harbour, up the Lough Atalia Road and R339, before cutting over onto the Tuam Road.
From there the deliveries will turn onto the N6 and follow it until it leads onto the motorway.
Garda Traffic Corps members will be escorting the delivery trucks on the journey through the city.
The wind turbine blades and other sections are destined for the Moanvane Wind Farm project in Co. Offally.
