NEW YORK (AP) — A huge steam generator is making its way down the Hudson River toward its home at a New Jersey power plant.
The $195 million heat-recovery steam generator left the Port of Coeymans (KWEE'-mihnz) near Albany on Monday morning.
On Tuesday, the structure passed beneath the George Washington Bridge on a barge.
The destination of its 170-mile (273-kilometer) voyage was Seawaren, on the Arthur Kill separating New Jersey and Staten Island.
The generator is a component of a $600 million power plant being built by PSEG.
It is 130 feet (40 meters) tall and weighs 8 million pounds (3.6 million kilograms). The equipment is the latest large structure built at the privately owned port, which is marking its 10th anniversary this month.
