“These loads are the building blocks of our economy and represent thousands of good paying jobs that will improve the lives of Ohioans for generations,” Gov. Mike DeWine said in a news release from the Ohio Department of Transportation. “With this super load, we are making even more progress in building the Silicon Heartland.”
This load carries an air processor, weighs 378,400 pounds, and is over 19 feet tall, 20 feet wide and 128 feet long.
On Wednesday, the load will travel along the following route:
The load will pull out of the dock onto U.S. 52 about 8:15 a.m.
The load is expected to cross over and travel the wrong way in the U.S. 52 westbound lanes just before the junction of State Route239.
The load will travel north on the State Route 239 southbound ramp toward state routes 73 and 852.
