Stator Rotor successfully moved off freeway

March 19, 2013

The stator rotor which was being transported during a crash on the 22 and 405-freeway connector was finally removed from the freeway.

The accident, which occurred last Friday, March 15, resulted in immediate closures on I-405, with a second series of closures to remove the load Monday night into Tuesday morning.

One lane was closed on I-405 between I-605 and Studebaker Rd. late Monday through Tuesday.

The Seventh Street on-ramp to the northbound 605 and 405 freeways was closed Friday after a 210,000-pound (363, 250 loaded) oversize load carrying a rotor fell off a big rig damaging the road, guardrail and bridge. As a result, the Long Beach/Seal Beach borderline ramp will be closed indefinitely to oversize load travel.

WCS Permits worked closely with CHP, Caltrans and cities surrounding the incident to quickly ensure the proper permits to move the damaged rotor onto a dual-lane trailer and off the freeway. To permit such a trailer to the rotor, and its transport back to the City of Compton following usually takes weeks, however WCS obtained all necessary permits in four days.

The trailer was 18’1″ wide, and required a CHP escort, which WCS was involved in coordinating.

An inspection of the bridge is said to happen in the near future.
