The transport dimensions are 17’3” tall, 26’ wide, 385’ long and weighs 1,484,000 lbs. The transport is anticipated to return to the Laramie railyard during the second week of July. Two more transformers will be moved this summer, and the schedule of those moves will be released.
That’s according to a release from WYDOT, which states that the superload will be leaving the Laramie railyard on Monday morning. It is estimated to arrive onto I-80 at the Snowy Range on-ramp at mile marker 311 by 10:30 a.m. Following that, the loard will move west to the truck parking lot at milepost 307.
On Tuesday, July 1, the superload will leave the truck parking lot at approximately 5 a.m. and drive to Arlington at mile marker 272 on I-80.
“The journey is anticipated to take around 2 hours,” the release states. “From there, the transport will take Wyoming Highway 13 to US Highway 30/287, ending its route in Medicine Bow. The transport dimensions are 17’3” tall, 26’ wide, 385’ long and weighs 1,484,000 lbs. Due to the size of the superload, both lanes of travel will be used. Not to cause damage to the interstate the transport will be traveling at 25-30 mph, dropping to 10 mph over bridges. Stoppages and travel delays should be expected.”
The transport is anticipated to return to the Laramie railyard during the second week of July. Two more transformers will be moved this summer, and the schedule of those moves will be released.
