The first of two oversized loads of Exxon Mobil refinery equipment set to leave the Port of Lewiston over a five-day span has started moving in northern Idaho.
The shipment left at dusk Friday and went through Moscow on its way to connect with Interstate 90 near Coeur d'Alene en route to the oil sands of southern Alberta, Canada.
The Idaho Transportation Department on Wednesday issued permits giving the company five days to ship along U.S. Highway 95. It was thought the load would start moving at 10 p.m., and it's earlier departure Friday surprised some area residents.
