There has been some talk recently about Molson transporting 6 very large vats through the area towards their Toronto location. This will be happening on the weekend.
The transportation will start on January 7th in Hamilton and end up at Carlingview Drive by Tuesday January 12th. There will be some disruption to traffic in Milton over the course of the trip (Hwy 25 from Oakville to Derry Road to Trafalgar Road to Steeles Ave towards Winston Churchill Blvd)
I have scanned in the schedule for you to look at. They project “minimal” disruption to traffic in our area between 9PM on Friday January 7th and 6AM on Saturday January 8th or 9PM Saturday January 8th to 6AM Sunday January 9th.
Its quite the large container that will be transported and it wont be moving fast. Be careful when driving around theses areas and be safe. Here is a link to Halton Police’s news release as well.

Beer vat move is on again
They’re going to give it one more try.
Challenger Motor Freight Co. is planning once again to transport six massive beer vats from Hamilton Port Authority to Molson Coors Brewery near Toronto airport this weekend. So drivers could face major traffic delays on area roads as the six oversized tanks are moved along area roads.
Tomorrow (Friday) the company plans to begin moving the beer vats that each hold a million bottles of beer from Hamilton to Burlington, then beginning Saturday night about 9 p.m. the vats are to travel along Dundas to Regional Rd. 25 north to Derry Rd. to Trafalgar Rd. then north to Steeles Ave. in Halton Hills.
The convoy will park on Steeles Ave. near Mississauga Rd. for the day Sunday, then carry on over the following two nights into Toronto and the brewery.
Last month the company planned the move and put it off four times due to weather or mechanical difficulties.
