Super load to travel through region; traffic to be affected

From staff reports

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation reminds motorists to be alert for traffic impacts as the Yankee Dryer super load continues to slowly travel through the region.

The super load, which left the Port of Erie on Thursday, is traveling through the region on its way to Lock Haven in Clinton County.

During the journey, the load will move through nine counties, including portions of Erie, Crawford, Venango and Forest. It is excepted to arrive in Lock Haven on Friday.

Plans call for the load to start along Route 27 outside of Titusville today. The travel route includes Route 27 to Pleasantville, as well as Route 36 and Route 62 in Venango and Forest counties.

Flaggers will be positioned at specific locations and intersections along the super load route to assist traffic control during counterflow movements.

Drivers will need to remain alert for the slow-moving operation, which will travel at speeds lower than 15 miles per hour.
