“This superload is 629,436 pounds,” states a news release from the Warren County Engineer’s Office. It is 16 feet wide, 19 feet tall and 201 feet long, WCEO said.
After Union Road, the convoy will become a moving roadblock until its destination.
The superload will be escorted by the Ohio State Highway Patrol and Warren County Sheriff’s deputies along Union Road to Greentree Road and into the city of Monroe. The convoy will continue to its destination on Todhunter Road in Butler County.
Drivers are asked to plan ahead and avoid this area. The large transformer is expected to have a big impact on traffic. Long delays can be expected.
The detour of Union Road will use Ohio 63, Ohio 741 and Ohio 122.
