What to know to start your week: Another super load to move through area
Here are a couple of items to start your week off, including another super load coming through the area.
Eighth super load to begin trip April 25
COLUMBUS – The eighth of nearly two dozen “super loads” will head north to New Albany from Adams County. This load is related to the new Intel plant in Licking County and is the same as each previous load to New Albany, an air processor. The load is 19’3” tall, 20’ wide, 128’ long, and 378,400 pounds.
The eighth load will head out from Manchester on Thursday, April 25. It will stop in Chillicothe and at Rickenbacker in Franklin County. It will not move on Saturday, April 27 due to the Cap City Half Marathon. It will be delivered on Sunday, April 28.
The Ohio Department of Transportation has carefully analyzed and planned the route to make sure these super loads can be accommodated. Since each load will be escorted by several Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers, emergency traffic will get around the rolling roadblock with minimal delay. Working with partners like local governments and utility companies, obstructions along the route such as large overhead signs, traffic signals, and utility lines have been adjusted and moved.
The schedule of each of the nearly two dozen loads will be checked against local events, like festivals and fairs, to further minimize impacts.
Notifications will continue to be made in advance of each load leaving the dock on the Ohio River near the village of Manchester in Adams County. Updates will be provided as each load moves north toward central Ohio.You can find more information, updates, and sign up for email alerts at transportation.ohio.gov/superload.
