Taxiway D

Please note that Taxiway Delta is closed at D5 - as per the NOTAM below:
Q) EGTT/QMXLC/IV/M/A/000/999/5321N00217W005
FROM: 09/07/03 05:00 TO: 09/10/29 16:00
E) DUE WIP TWY CHARLIE CLSD AT C2, TWY DELTA CLSD BTN D4 AND D5.
TWY QUEBEC CLSD. TWY LIMA UNLIT.
DIVERSION FM ABEAM STAND 100 TO A6, L1 AND D6 REMOVED FM SERVICE.
FOLLOW ME VEHICLE PROVIDED ALONG UNLIT SECTIONS OF TWY DURING HN AND
LVP.
As a result Taxiway Lima is one way out - and the only alternative is to route via Alpha onto Charlie and then round onto Bravo.
I believe, although I can not find reference to it, that there may be an aircraft size limitation for use of Taxiway Lima due to the blast fences that are protecting the work areas. If this is the case, then the SQ 777 might have had to be towed via Lima (to avoid delays to aircraft inbound to Terminal 2) in order to ensure wing-tip clearance when negotiating the chicane to the end of Pier B.
I hope this will help to clarify the situation a little.
