It has been a long journey, but the final voyage for a pair of huge turbines will take place this week. Re-fitted and ready to be installed after being dropped into the harbor, the first of the two will be loaded onto a barge and taken up the river to Point Lepreau today. NB Power spokes-person Heather McLean tells Tide News, everything is weather dependant:
Mclean says they have been working closely with local fisherman to make sure the voyage didn't interrupt lobster season. The second turbine is expected to make the move tomorrow.
