NSTAR transformer on the move
HYANNIS - A massive electrical transformer arrived at the docks in Hyannis late Wednesday evening. The transformer is intended to improve the reliability of electricity on the Cape according to the utility. It was hoisted by a large crane onto a specialized truck. The truck was escorted at 1 MPH up onto Route 132. The transformer is so large it won't fit under the exit 6 overpass so the truck had to go up on the highway to go around. The final destination is an NSTAR substation on Oak Street in West Barnstable.
