Trending
PennDOT is warning of the potential for lengthy delays from the movement of windmill blade-superloads through Blair and Cambria counties this week.
Superloads destined for Highland North Wind Farm near Beaverdale, off Route 2010 (Frankstown Road) in Summerhill Township, Cambria County, are scheduled today through Friday.
Superloads (12 in total) consisting of windmill blades will leave Clearfield County at 8 a.m., 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. each day and use I-80 to access I-99 in Centre County, before continuing into Blair County on I-99. The loads will use Exit 23, Roaring Spring-Portage, to access Route 164 (Dunnings Highway/Johnstown Road) to Route 2010 (Frankstown Road) in Cambria County.
Drivers should remain alert for these slow-moving, two-lane operations and use alternate routes when possible. Traveling both the posted speed limit and slower as needed, superloads will occasionally pull over to allow traffic to pass.
