Overview
- An almost 100‑meter convoy hauling an 87.5‑meter blade to the Alpen‑Veen wind park could not make the A42‑to‑A57 curve at the Kamp‑Lintfort interchange, which left the ramp blocked.
- Police shut the link while crews laid steel plates to widen the bend, removed parts of the guardrail, and cut trees so the blade would not strike them.
- The ramp has reopened after extended recovery work, and drivers were sent to the A57 Moers‑Hülsdonk exit during the closure.
- The operator said the move had full permits and police escort for night travel, and it called this the longest blade transport in the company’s history.
- The remaining blades will follow once the route is clear, which delays assembly of the new Enercon E‑175 turbine and shows how bigger components complicate delivery schedules.
