Omega Morgan shipment won't travel Friday night
BOISE - An over-legal load being moved by Omega Morgan on U.S 12 will not move Friday night because of the potential for snow, the Idaho Transportation Department announced.
The shipment may resume travel on Saturday night if weather and road conditions are favorable.
It weighs 520,000 pounds, is 236 feet long, 20 feet wide and 22 feet high.
Three flagging teams, three pilot vehicles and two vehicles with portable signs are traveling with the shipment. The transportation plan requires that delays not exceed 15 minutes for other vehicles using U.S. 12. Locations have been identified along U.S. 12 where the shipment can safely pull over to let traffic pass.
