Large Equipment Moving Through Harford County

HARFORD COUNTY, MD – A large move of electrical equipment will cause rolling closures in Harford County overnight Thursday into early Friday morning, according to the Maryland State Highway Administration. The equipment is being moved by Riggers Inc., officials said.

The convoy around the electrical generation equipment will be moving slowly, so drivers should take alternate routes. The move will begin after 11 p.m. on Thursday, June 21.

Here is the route for what officials are calling a "mega move" of large electrical equipment:

• Southbound on MD 165/Pylesville Road from the Maryland/Pennsylvania line
• Left turn onto eastbound MD 136/Whiteford Road
• Left turn onto northbound Ridge Road to Pennsylvania

The move is expected to be complete by 5 a.m. on Friday, June 22.

Transportation officials will set up rolling closures as the convoy makes its journey through Harford County.

It is expected to move at 5 mph, according to Charlie Gischlar, spokesman for the State Highway Administration. He advised taking an alternate route if possible.
