The transport of a “super oversize” 340-ton heat recovery steam generator from Jay to South Portland, Maine, has encountered delays and logistical challenges.

Initially, the shipment—measuring approximately 220 feet long and 20 feet wide—was delayed due to slower-than-anticipated progress, with the Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office shifting the expected arrival from a Thursday to the following Tuesday. The movement requires nightly travel between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. on public roads.

During the transit, the load was forced to pause in Oxford after a local business owner refused to allow the machinery and its escort vehicles to pass through their property. The shipment was subsequently parked at the Call of the Wild RV Center on Main Street. The transport has drawn significant local interest from residents along the route.
