The transport of the blades for the new wind turbines at Paul da Serra has been underway since 5 a.m. this morning, causing significant disruptions to road traffic. The operation affects traffic between Ribeira Brava and the high area to the West of Madeira island.
The operation involves wind turbine blades with a length of 61.6 meters, dimensions that require special care during transport. Due to the exceptional size of the blades, occasional traffic stops are necessary along the entire route.
The video accompanying the news, recorded in time-lapse mode, allows you to see the scale of the operation and the impact it has on regional roads. The transport is being carried out during the early morning hours to minimize the impact on traffic, although disruptions are felt along the route.
