SWEPCO warns of delays during project

HALLSVILLE – As two generators and one turbine are delivered to the project site, SWEPCO is getting ready for another significant construction milestone at the future Hallsville Natural Gas Plant. Before starting the last portion of its journey to Hallsville, the equipment will be moved to specialized transport trailers at a rail unloading location in Tenaha after arriving in East Texas by rail. The deliveries complement recent developments at the site, such as the completion of a significant concrete pour for the turbine foundation and ongoing work on the utilities, electrical infrastructure, and foundations supporting future generation operations.

The scheduled days of planned transportation include July 11, July 13 and July 15. Each heavy-haul move will travel under escort at slower speeds and is anticipated to take about four hours. Along parts of the transport route, drivers should anticipate brief delays. They are advised to plan ahead, exercise caution, and obey traffic-control and law enforcement personnel’s instructions. Drivers are urged to exercise caution, give themselves extra time to get there, and, if feasible, take different routes. Crews and equipment moving through the area may cause delays along U.S. Highway 84, FM 699, U.S. Highway 59, FM 2625, and FM 3251.
