Oversized Wind Turbine Transport to Begin in Latvia

A series of oversized wind turbine structures will be transported through various roads in Latvia, including the Riga bypass (A5), the Ventspils highway (A10), and the regional road Kūdra-Kalnciems (P101), as well as the Rīga-Rumbula-Rīga bypass (A4) and the Kūdra-Kalnciems road (P101).

The transport, which will be carried out by LVC, is aimed at delivering wind turbine structures to the Laflora Energy wind farm in Kaigu bog, owned by AS Latvenergo. A convoy of four to five trucks is scheduled to depart from Riga at 13:00, with another smaller convoy setting off at 20:00.

The convoy will travel up to twice a day, with a maximum speed of 70 to 80 km/h. Given the size of the cargo, the width may exceed 5 metres. To ensure safety and smooth traffic flow, the convoy will be accompanied by a special transport or a State Police escort.

While no significant traffic restrictions are currently planned, it is important to note that traffic may be slowed down or temporarily stopped during the transport. Large-size vehicles will have designated stopping places along the route.

For those seeking detailed logistics and scheduling information, it is advisable to consult Latvian transport authorities, the wind turbine project developer, or dedicated local logistics agencies involved in the operation. These organizations usually publish transport plans and restrictions when moving oversized components on public roads due to the complexity and impact on traffic.

The search results for this transport operation were mainly focused on other renewable energy topics in Latvia and nearby regions, such as new renewable fuel plants in Riga port, solar and hybrid energy projects, and regional energy conferences. There was also information about energy interconnections between Estonia and Latvia and wind farm developments in Germany, but no direct references to the oversized wind turbine transport you asked about.
