BAKER CITY – (Release from the Oregon Department of Transportation) Expect 20 minutes delays along OR 86 (Baker-Copperfield Hwy.) during evenings of Sept. 22 and Sept. 26 to accommodate a 16-foot-wide, 180-foot-long, 416,300-pound load. The oversized freight (non-hazardous generator equipment) will move slowly (10-40 mph) down the center of highway at times, blocking both lanes. Pilot cars and flaggers will direct traffic around the transport as it moves from Baker City to the Brownlee Dam, on the Idaho side of the Snake River.
Delays on Sept. 26 are to accommodate the return trip of the empty transport trailer from the dam to I-84. Dates are tentative and may change. Check TripCheck.com and click the OR 86 delay icon for updates regarding the impact dates and for more details. More Info Here
