Wintry weather keeps megaload in Kooskia

KOOSKIA, Idaho - An Idaho official said 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 tonight because of wintery weather moving
through the area.

Idaho Department of Transportation spokesman Adam Rush said the equipment
headed for Billings, Mont., is scheduled to start moving again tonight 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.
