Wide Load Slows Traffic in Kent

An oversized load slowly trucked its way south through Kent Sunday leaving traffic delays in its wake.

The 215-foot long tractor trailer inched its way south on S.R. 43 to Haymaker Parkway, where it had to be driven backwards on S.R. 59 to make the turn onto South Water Street.

Diamond Heavy Haul, Inc., which has an office in Kent, managed the move of the large metal tube.

Drivers should expect delays as the truck heads to Canton, OH.
