KOOSKIA, Idaho -- An Idaho official says an oil company's megaload of refinery equipment will remain at a U.S. Highway 12 turnout near Kooskia in northern Idaho until at least Monday night because of wintery weather moving through the area.
Idaho Department of Transportation spokesman Adam Rush says the equipment headed for Billings, Mont., is scheduled to start moving again Monday night on a 52-mile leg before stopping about five miles east of the Lochsa Ranger Station.
The three-story, 226-foot-long megaload is being moved only at night, and is the first of four megaloads scheduled to cross Idaho and Montana.
Each transport is carrying half of a 300-ton coke drum starting from the Port of Lewiston in Idaho.
