Viewfinder: Oversized loads arrive in Parker

UPDATE 2: More definitive information from the Orange County Register about the final destination of the dome, a Chevron gasoline refinery on the coast, can be found HERE.

UPDATE: According to CRIT council member Johnny Hill Jr., the round device is a cap for an electrical plant in California, being shipped through Parker and transferring to another trailer to comply with California regulations.

A “reactor”, among other things, according to people familiar with the loads being trucked slowly into Parker today. At least one of the loads came from Gila Bend and took up the entire roadway on Highway 72 into town. Photos by ADOT, Melissa Wright and Johnny Hill Jr.

    Is it staying in Parker or moving on??

  8. It’s tough for a County like La Paz County to maintain it’s County roads with the funding from the State gas tax. So I wonder if these huge products exceed the weight limits on Salome Road established to avoid damage from excessive weight loads. Is the County even monitoring these types of activities. Who knows, the weight limitations may have been revised or some state or federal agency may be able to overrule County ordinances.

    ces?
