The transport vehicle is too large to make the turn coming out of Airport Road onto U.S. 60, so a crane will be used to assist that turn. The highway will likely have to close while that process takes place.

U.S. 60 West closing near airport road
About 4 p.m., U.S. 60 West near Airport Road will likely close for 30 minutes to one hour to accommodate removal of the military aircraft that crash-landed near Frances last month. The Chinook helicopter was airlifted from a farm near Frances a couple of weeks ago and taken to Marion-Crittenden County Airport. Today, it is being put onto a transport vehicle and taken back to Fort Campbell.
