Extra long load

Motorists yielded to semi-trucks carrying extra-long wind turbine parts Friday morning in downtown Hutchinson. The long loads have been temporarily stopping traffic at the intersection of State Highways 7 and 22 on recent weekday mornings as they travel from the port of Duluth to Iowa, where the wind turbines will be erected. Some parts spend the night at the former truck stop on west State Highway 7 in Hutchinson.
