ALBION – A transformer won’t be leaving Albion today after the trip was cancelled.
The 430,000-pound load was scheduled to go from Albion to Byron.
There was a late notification to National Grid about the trip. The journey has been put off until National Grid is available.
A new move date hasn’t been released. State police will provide an escort. The height of this load requires lifting most overhead wires and traffic control devices.
The transformer was delivered by train to Albion on Tuesday. It is currently on a trailer by Hamilton Street.
Most of the journey is planned for Route 98 from Albion to Elba, before the transformer heads down Lockport Road and reaches Byron on Byron Road.
