A Phoenix-based hauling company will be carrying a 285 ton anode across Arizona this week to the Freeport-McMoRan mine in Miami. A 225 foot specially designed truck and trailer rig from Precision Heavy Haul is expected to cross the border from Nevada into Arizona shortly after midnight tonight (Tuesday AM) It started its trip from Salt Lake City last Tuesday and will take eight more days to reach its destination.
During its trip across the state, motorists can expect delays in the vicinity of the oversized load, which takes up to two lanes and is being escorted by Department of Public Safety officers and pilot cars.
The rig’s final day of travel will be next Tuesday, August 16 when it leaves Tonto Basin at 6:am, traveling southeast on SR 188, then west on US 60 to New Street in Miami.
