History in the Making
I was just down at the site earlier this morning talking with some of the workers involved in the operation. Due to a fiber optic wire they couldn’t “fit” under - they had to lower the wire and build a ramp the depot could pass over. it is amazing to see such a massive structure moving along the roadside!
the third photo portrays a truck, pulling a truck, pulling the depot. each little movement, you could see the middle truck’s front rise up. Also, i counted about 100 wheels that the structure is resting upon.
This has been in the works for a long long time.
Nice to see it moving.
