PennDOT has announced the potential for lengthy delays from the continued movement of superloads consisting of windmill blades and tower and turbine parts through the PennDOT District 9 counties of Bedford, Blair, Cambria and Somerset through mid-September.

The next superloads are scheduled for Thursday, July 10, and include windmill blades and mid-tower sections.

The travel routes vary and may include Bedford County – U.S. 220 and Interstate 99 (I-99); Blair County – I-99 and U.S. 22; Cambria County – Route 22, Route 219, Route 4013 (Sunset Road) and Route 36; and Somerset County – Route 219.

The superloads, which include windmill blades, tower components and nacelle (turbine housing) destined for the CPV Rogue’s Wind facility near Patton, 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 approximately 25-30 miles per hour, or slower as needed, superloads will occasionally pull over to allow traffic to pass.
