Second Megaload leaves Lewsiton, hits lightpoles

Idaho Tranportation Department (ITD) gave Emmert International the go-ahead to take the second, heavier, longer megaload up Wild and Scenic Highway 12.   ITD required a revision of the travel plan after the first megaload caused nearly hour long waits and scraped along cliff walls.  Reportedly, Emmert International made "significant changes" to the traffic control plan and made changes to "safely cross bridges" as the first load was 34,000 pounds heavier than planned.

While the second megaload reportedly cause no delays longer than 15 minutes, some lightpoles were scraped by the load.  Read the latest media from links below.
