As part of a six-year project to refurbish and to increase the generating capacity of its Bath County Pumped Storage Station, Dominion will be moving a large piece of equipment along Route 600, VA Route 39 and U.S. Route 220 on Wednesday, Jan. 7 and on Thursday, Jan. 8. On Jan. 7, Dominion will bring a loaded 220-foot tractor-trailer rig to the power station. The rig will leave the abandoned rest area on Interstate 64 at about 8 a.m. The rig will travel west on I-64 to the U.S. Route 220 North Exit (exit 16). It will continue on U.S. Route 220 to VA Route 39 and Route 600. This move will slow traffic on U.S. Route 220 going up Warm Springs Mountain from about 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. It will impact traffic on VA Route 39 going west over Back Creek Mountain from about noon to 1:30 p.m. On Jan. 8, the empty big rig will leave the power station at about 7 a.m. and travel south and east along Route 600, VA Route 39 and U.S. Route 220. The rig will impact traffic along VA Route 39 at Back Creek Mountain at about 8 a.m. and along U.S. Route 220 going down Warm Springs Mountain from about noon to 2:00 p.m. Weather, travel restrictions or other unforeseen circumstances may change the schedule.
