A superload schedule typically includes advance notice to the public and local authorities, which is usually 24 to 48 hours. This allows them to plan and prepare for the transport.

The route and timing of the transport are carefully planned to minimize disruptions and ensure public safety. Superloads often travel during off-peak hours to reduce the impact on traffic.

The size and weight of the superload dictate the type of equipment and personnel needed for the transport, which can include escort vehicles and specialized cranes.

If you're planning to travel through southern Ohio, be aware that a superload is making its way through the region. The superload, a pipe rack module, will be traveling on various routes over the course of three days.

The superload will originate in Adams County and travel through Scioto, Pike, and Ross Counties on February 7. It will depart at approximately 8:15 a.m. and head east on US Route 52. Be aware that the load will pull out just after the last bus transporting students to Manchester Local Schools passes the site.

The superload will travel through several counties, including Ross, Pickaway, and Franklin. On February 8, it will originate in Ross County and travel through Pickaway and Franklin Counties, departing at approximately 7:30 a.m. On February 9, it will originate in Franklin County and travel through Fairfield and Licking Counties, also departing at approximately 7:30 a.m.

Here is a breakdown of the superload's route for each day:

Keep in mind that the superload will be traveling in oversized lanes and may cause delays. Be sure to check for updates on the superload's schedule and route before heading out.

The last of four extra-large super loads is on its way to central Ohio. It will depart the dock site in Adams County on Wednesday, August 7.

This load, an air processor known as a cold box, measures approximately 23' tall, 20' wide, 270' long, and weighs 800,000 pounds. It's one of nearly two dozen "super loads" being moved to the site of the new Intel plant in Licking County.

The convoy will make stops in several towns along the way, including West Portsmouth, Lucasville, Chillicothe, Rickenbacker, Pickerington, and Pataskala. It's scheduled to arrive on Tuesday, August 13.

Motorists are advised to plan ahead and avoid the route while the load is moving, as it will have significant traffic impacts.

The deliveries of these superloads are a big deal! The convoy will depart the dock site in Adams County on Wednesday, August 7, and head to New Albany to deliver the load to the site of the new Intel plant in Licking County.

The load will make stops in several cities, including West Portsmouth, Lucasville, Chillicothe, Rickenbacker, Pickerington, and Pataskala, before being delivered on Tuesday, August 13. This is just one of nearly two dozen "super loads" that will be making the journey.

The convoy will travel along SR 104, but due to the size of the load and slow speed of the convoy, moves will begin earlier than previous trips to ensure each move can be completed during daylight hours. This is a big change from previous trips.

The Ohio Department of Transportation has carefully analyzed and planned the route to make sure these extra-large loads can be accommodated. Several Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers will be escorting the convoy, ensuring that emergency traffic gets around the rolling roadblock with minimal delay.

The public is expected to gather along the route, which could lead to additional traffic delays. Spectators are asked to stay out of the path of the transport trucks and work crews and off the sidewalks along the roadway.

The schedule of each load will be checked against local events, like festivals and fairs, to further minimize impacts. Notifications will continue to be made in advance of each load leaving the dock on the Ohio River near the village of Manchester in Adams County.

Loads 35 and 36 are set to arrive in New Albany on Sunday, February 2. They'll be carrying a Pipe Rack Module and Structural Steel, respectively.

Load 35 will depart from Manchester on Thursday, January 30, and travel through several counties before reaching its destination. It will stop overnight at Ross County Fairgrounds on Day 1.

On Friday, January 31, Load 35 will continue its journey through Pickaway and Franklin Counties, with an overnight stop at Rickenbacker. Load 36 will originate in Adams County on the same day, but won't depart until Saturday, February 1.

Load 35 will travel from Rickenbacker through Fairfield and Licking Counties to the Intel site for delivery on Sunday, February 2. Load 36 will travel from Rickenbacker to Freedom Way and then to the Intel site for delivery as well.

The Pipe Rack Module Load 35 is carrying is quite large, measuring 19'6" in height and 162'8" in length.
