Edwards Rigging plans to move the last of six superload trips from Eddyville to Hopkinsville Thursday morning.
The specialized hauler plans to leave the Eddyville Riverport around 7 a.m. Thursday and take the same route as the previous five. It will travel along Kentucky 93 to I-24 which will cause Kentucky 93 to be closed for about 45 minutes between the Riverport and exit 45.
The 480-ton superload will create a traffic backup for eastbound I-24 travel with about a 20-minute delay as the load travels eastbound between Exit 45 and Exit 65.
Once the slow-moving caravan reaches the U.S. 68 Cadiz Exit, it will head east on U.S. 68 to Hopkinsville.
Edwards Rigging has been tasked with moving six parts of a large auto parts stamping press to the Martinrea facility near Hopkinsville where it will be assembled as part of a plant expansion project.
