Duke Energy moving Transformer today

With no rain in the forecast, weather should not stand in the way today of the re-scheduled move of a transformer from the rail end at West Union to Duke Energy’s Bad Creek Hydro station. Duke Energy and the Walhalla Police Department encourage motorists to be mindful of what will be a slow move along Highways 28 and 107 between 9am and 6pm. Highway traffic will encounter long delays, and motorists are wise to take alternate routes or to adjust their schedules. The transformer, which weighs 700,000-pounds, will be moved by truck and is the first of three to be moved over the next three weeks.
