US 41 between White Springs and Jasper is scheduled to be closed to all traffic all day today to accommodate the relocation of a dragline used by PCS Phosphate.
The road will be closed at CR 132 on the south end (north of White Springs) and CR 137 North (south of Jasper). The closure will begin at 7 a.m. and end by 5 p.m.
The closure will allow a dirt ramp to be built across the two-lane roadway, the adjacent railroad tracks and a natural gas transmission line. The actual movement of the dragline, scheduled to take about an hour to complete, will begin about 11 a.m. Once the dragline is moved across the three areas - road, railroad and gas line - the dirt berm will be removed and the area cleaned up.
All traffic will be detoured southbound to CR 137 North and northbound to either CR 137 South or to CR 132. CR 137 is a loop road that joins US 41 at two different locations, both north and south of CR 132.
This is the second movement of the PCS dragline in the last year. On Oct. 30, 2008, the road was closed to allow the 8 million pound dragline to be moved across the road.
