A super load is making its way to Intel’s Ohio One plant in New Albany, causing traffic delays in central Ohio. This 916,000-pound load, part of a series of oversized shipments, is larger than previous super loads and is taking longer to transport. Local governments have had to clear obstructions to accommodate its massive size.
The super load contains an air processor crucial to Intel’s chip manufacturing process and is bound for the delayed Ohio One plant. The shipment is expected to pass through various central Ohio cities on its route to New Albany.
Starting in Manchester and traveling through Franklin and Fairfield counties, the super load will reach central Ohio by Tuesday. On Monday, it will pass through Licking County before finally arriving at its destination. Due to its enormous dimensions, the super load requires special accommodations and a longer transit time.
The unique characteristics of this super load have necessitated changes in traffic patterns and road closures along its journey. Despite the challenges posed by its size, the shipment is crucial for Intel’s manufacturing operations at the Ohio One plant.
