VIDEO: TMI generators on Route 272

 

Thursday, the generators are scheduled to move from the Buck intersection of routes 272 and 372 to just south of Willow Street. That means they should pass through the tunnel at Smithville and cross Pequea Creek, which marks the border between Providence and Pequea townships, on a temporary bridge built specifically for the 835-ton generators and their transports.

I wish they were on a more specific time schedule. I don't want to be sitting at that intersection ALL day.
Plus, what are you guys doing to see these things? Do you park and walk to the closed road?

Well I saw them when they were sitting at the Little Britian school, they only travel 3 hours a day at 3 mph... so I don't know how everyone is seeing them as they move, but yes I parked down the road a bit and walked up to them... It was really really cool! Even my teenagers enjoyed it, they are normally bored with everything!
