Ace Heavy Haul of Chelsea, Oklahoma will transport the load. Travel dates will run from
Thursday December 5 through Friday, December 13. The travel schedule includes
Saturday and Sunday, December 7 and 8. Movement is expected to be during daylight
hours only. Movement could be impacted or delayed by winter weather.

The super load travel plan will involve nine counties and will feature cross overs and unusual
traffic patterns, including:

• Multiple crossover movements on Bayfront Parkway—Erie County

• Counterflow/opposite direction movement on SR 5 West (Lake Road)–Erie County
• Counterflow/opposite direction movement on SR 290 East on-ramp—Erie County

alert drivers of the restrictions and traffic delays. Pennsylvania State Police will accompany
the transport to enhance safety.
