'Superloads' To Travel Through Spokane

A series of 'superloads' coming through Spokane will travel down a portion of Third Avenue during the next several months because they don’t fit under a bridge over Interstate 90.

The loads will exit I-90 at Altamont Street and travel down Third for several blocks because they are too big to fit under the nearby pedestrian bridge. They will re-enter the interstate at Rebecca Street.

So what is contained in the loads and are they related to the infamous 'megaloads?' No one seems to know. The Spokesman-Review has more.
