They're unrelated. I think the timing just so happened to coincide with the upcoming loads headed to Intel.

I had about fifteen minutes Friday evening with someone involved with these super loads and he gave me a few details I thought you guys might be interested in. • The first super load that left for central Ohio on Wednesday, is a combustion chamber that weighs nearly 400,000 pounds. It is going to a recycling plant in Hebron. • The second super load will begin traveling to central Ohio this Thursday. It will be the same size and shape as the first load. It is also a combustion chamber heading to the same spot in Hebron. • After the first two loads arrive in Hebron, they will begin moving loads up to Intel. They will move 22 loads to Intel over the next several months. • One load that will be hauled to Intel will be long enough to stretch from one goal line to the other 10 yd line on a football field! That load will weigh 900,000 pounds. I included this link from ODOT that has some other information on the second super load heading to central Ohio on Thursday: https://www.transportation.ohio.gov/about-us/news/statewide/second-super-load-will-head-toward-central-ohio-next-week

It's already at Old Bixby Rd now- It can't go any further today because the permit they have for the Columbus portion of the route only allows it to travel on any streets in Columbus on Sundays.

It's on Rickenbacker Parkway -not too far from London-Groveport Road

Vertical construction underway on COTA's new Rickenbacker Mobility Center at Shook Rd and London-Groveport Rd Lot's more about the new mobility hub found here: https://www.masstransitmag.com/technology/facilities/press-release/53074409/central-ohio-transit-authority-cota-cota-columbus-regional-airport-authority-breaks-ground-on-243-million-cota-mobility-center

The first (and smallest) of the super loads is resting near Rickenbacker for the night.

An hour ago at the Merchant Building

Another piece of the new freeway ramp is set From Dodge Park

Lol. I didn't snatch that one. Just "borrowed it" from that article 😉

Snatched a couple quick ones of the first structure rising at Crescent at Central Park as I passed by recently From Hamilton Rd

Crews are ripping up the parking lot at the Rice Bowl site today. If I had to guess, I'd say the building itself will be tore down within the next couple weeks.

"The first in a series of what state traffic officials call “super loads” of cargo are now moving through Adams County to Central Ohio." Here's a picture of the initial load as it leaves for Central Ohio: https://www.fox19.com/2024/03/06/expect-traffic-delays-super-loads-move-adams-county-central-ohio/

A small update on a couple of the larger Intel related infrastructure projects currently under construction around the site... Green Chapel Rd rebuild and widening: Green Chapel Rd, which forms the northern border of the site, is about halfway complete. The southern portion of the new roadway is done. Streetlights are up on the south side and landscaping work continues. Work has started on the northern portion of the roadway as well. Mink Street rebuild and widening: Mink Street, which forms the eastern border of the site, is also about halfway complete. The western portion of the new roadway is open and work is well underway on the east side of the rebuild.

The 1.2 million sq ft DSV Distribution Center being built near Intel is absolutely massive. It's being built in the NATP on the plot of land between Clover Valley Rd, Jug St and the Harrison Rd extension. These don't do it justice but it was so busy I couldn't get much closer.
