City of Greater Sudbury police will close sections of highway and thoroughfares as the procession makes its way through the city. The Big Nickel will be installed outdoors at Science North. Two enormous cranes will lift the 12 ton coin into a vertical position, before swinging it onto a concrete base where it will be bolted into place. Science North is chartering a helicopter for media interested in aerial visuals. The Sudbury Airport is an approximate 30 minute drive from Science North on Ramsey Lake Road.
