Oversize vehicle may delay early morning commute
 Traffic on some Cornelius and Hillsboro roads may be delayed 4-6 a.m. Sept. 7 while a transformer is moved from the railroad at OR-8 and 10th Avenue, Cornelius, to the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) Keeler Substation in Hillsboro.
The transformer will be moved on an 18.5-foot-wide, 300-foot long truck and trailer accompanied by pilot cars. Brief lane closures - up to 10 minutes - may be needed to allow the oversized vehicle to make wide turns.
The route is as follows:
- TV Highway (OR-8),from 10th Avenue in Cornelius to 10th Avenue in Hillsboro
- 10th Avenue to Cornell Road
- Cornell to Cornelius Pass Road
- Cornelius Pass to Evergreen Parkway
- Evergreen to Rickey Terrace
The empty trailer will return to Cornelius by 5 a.m. Sept. 8, traveling from Cornelius Pass Road to TV Highway.
This is the final transformer to be moved. The first two were moved Aug. 30 and Sept. 5 with minimal traffic disruption. Visit
wc-roads.com for updates and other traffic alerts.
