TRAFFIC ALERT

On Thursday, August 8, a very large transformer will be moved through our city at a VERY slow rate of speed. The move will take place overnight, beginning at 9:30PM.
The transport convoy will begin at around 8:00AM on Rodman Road and make its way onto Washington Street S, Philomar Street, Washington Street N, Minot Avenue, Union Street, Center Street and onto the Veteran’s Bridge to Lewiston. Temporary road closures will take place along the route. The trek through Auburn is expected to take hours.
This is an extremely large item, and the convoy will be moving at a “walking pace.” Walking spotters and bucket trucks will be on hand to lift overhead wires for clearance.
NOTE: This will take place 3 more times over the next few weeks as more transformers are moved from Auburn to their destination. We will share details on our social media pages and website.
