Dumfries, Va. –– There’s going to be a large piece of equipment traveling on area roads this morning.
Dominion Virginia Power is moving a large transformer from its Possum Point power station in Dumfries to a power station in Burke.
The result will be improved reliability at the Burke power station, but it’s going to take a police escort and carefully-planned route to get the transformer where it’s going.
Drivers can expect police at major intersections to assist the truck carrying the transformer as it is expected to make wide turns, said Virginia Dominon Power spokeswoman Le-Ha Anderson.
Crews are scheduled to begin moving the transformer at 9:30 a.m., taking down Cockpit Road to Possum Point Road. From there it will travel onto U.S. 1 north, through Dumfries and then up to Dumfries Road (Va. 234) where it will then get onto Interstate 95, says Anderson.
Police will then guide the large transformer up the highway for about four miles, where it then exit at onto Dale Boulevard in Dale City, take Neabsco Mills Road to Optiz Boulevard, then onto Smoketown Road, to Minniville Road and eventually onto Ox Road (Va. 123).
The transformer should arrive in Burke about noontime.
