Dominion generator transport

[beamer_ball]

I'd say going through Jonesville and Big Stone will be some of the most challenging places. As I mentioned before wiith it being so long, they'll have to raise it up so many feet to allow it to pass over the hill by the courthouse in Jonesville. I'd say it'll be a tight squeeze through some areas there too, along with Pennington and Big Stone. Also to take a different approach to getting back on the 4-lane at Powell Valley. Another interesting thing will be the bridges. Most of them have been reinforced with some additional support, TDOT inspected all theirs and will do the same after it passes.

TDOT had the plans for the first 3 days of transport up on their website, maybe they'll add some additional days. Haven't seen anything from VDOT.

Alternate Route 58 just east of Coeburn to St. Paul
- Alternate Route 58 from St. Paul to Virginia City


Yep they did some real creative routing, going past the plant to SP then back to Va City. This is probly the same bunch that was in charge of getting this crane to the site. By taking it from Coeburn down 72 through Dungannon across Mew road to Castlewood then back to the site. Instead of just going straight on down 58 another 8 miles to the site.

The date on that the pictures say 7/16/2008 so I am guessing that is not the generator transport.

It says right in the post that those are pics of a crane they were taking to the site.

That is the most wheels I've ever seen on the top of anything, Rock.
