Windmill superloads delivery schedule for PennDOT District 9 released

Movement of windmill parts to continue through September

Superloads of windmill blades, tower and turbine parts will continue through the PennDOT District 9 counties of Bedford, Blair, Cambria and Somerset through mid-September.

The superloads, which include windmill blades, tower components and nacelle (turbine housing) destined for the CPV Rogue’s Wind facility near Patton, Cambria County, will move as a rolling slowdown using two traffic lanes which will result in traffic stoppages and travel delays.

Drivers should remain alert for these slow-moving, two-lane operations and use alternate routes when possible. Traveling both the posted speed limit and as slow as 25 to 30 miles per hour, or slower as needed, superloads will occasionally pull over to allow traffic to pass.

As always, PennDOT stresses extra caution in all work zones. Motorists should drive slowly, eliminate all distractions, and stay alert for direction from advanced signage.
