Title: Four Tractor Trailers With Wind Turbine Parts Staged At Milton Westford Short Cu
Post by: Henry on October 23, 2012, 12:46:19 PM

I didn't drive up to the Georgia Mountain Road to see what was going on there, but at the intersection of the Milton-Westford Road and Route 128 there were four tractor trailers staged - It appeared that maybe a couple had already left the area as you can see from the empty space in front:

I believe those are sections of the crane that will assemble the windmills.

Got this message this morning - I will try to get over there to grab a photo:

Henry-

I was driving to work this AM and headed up 128.  I thought there was an accident but at the bottom of the hill before you climb up to the Milton Westford RD were several escort vehicles and a semi with a HUGE propeller blade.  At the top of the hill in the new turn off, there were at least two more propeller blades, trucks and escort people.

Thought you might like to know so you could get a few pics, it was WAY to dark at 6 when I drove through to get any.

Looks like one of the trucks hit the guard rail near the Browns River.  Traffic was backed up for a bit because of this.

For those of you who don't have access to Facebook, below is a photo that Nancy Gross uploaded of the activity on the corner of The Milton Crosscut and Route 128:
