I still don't understand why they are using 272 from Nottingham to Wakefield. Seems to me 222 from Conowingo(sp?) would have been better. 272 is narrow, hilly and lots of curves.

Doesn't the fact that we couldn't fabricate the steam generators here in the Big PX disturb some of you?

That's a Cat D8R what got scooped up like a Tonka Toy.

Hilly and winding roads don't seem to be an issue with this move. They're taking them up Chickies Hill which has a pretty good grade to it. The temporary stream crossing they built over the Chickies Creek is also a sharp right turn from 441 and windy trip through the woods.

Should be interesting!

"We're going to find out where it's at and sit and watch it," said Dawn Althoff, who was lunching with her 4-year-old daughter, Renee, at the Valley View Restaurant in Drumore Township.

At "speeds" of up to 3 mph or less, you may as well look at the pictures.

What I want to know is why when they decided to close the Rt 272 bridge over the Octoraro Creek - why didn't they post a notice saying "Road to be Closed 8/27/09 for 3 weeks" instead of just saying "Road Closed 8/27/09" - I figured it was just closed for one day - so I told my family and friends to avoid the bridge that day. Well, it's still closed and there are no detour signs near the bridge. The detour sign (northbound) is at the WAWA/Rt1 intersection (which is WAY OUT OF THE WAY - obviously set up to accommodate Tractor Trailers) - what about people who travel Rt 272 that don't use Rt. 1 or come through Nottingham? And the southbound route on Rt 272 had no detour signs except one in the Little Britain area - so anyone picking up Rt. 272 past Little Britain, has no idea what to do when then get to the bridge. Why couldn't the state put up Detour signs at the bridge. I guess you figured out I live in between the two posted detour signs. It was very frustrating trying to find my way around (only been in the area 2 years) as I am not that familiar with the roads. And trying to give directions to family and friends was not the easiest since most street/road signs are missing. Even my GPS got confused (that's not surprising). With all the money spent on this project, a few extra signs would have made a huge difference. Oh, and anyone have any idea when the bridge will be open again?
