NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Thanks to reader George Betourney for forwarding these pictures he took of parts of a wind turbine taking the corner at Beaver Street and Route 2 on Tuesday morning.

The oversized parts were being carefully swung around the tight intersection at about 9:40 a.m., he wrote us.

The parts are for the long-delayed Hoosac Wind Project being built on Bakke Mountain in Florida and Crum Hill in Monroe. The 30-megawatt project, with 20 wind turbines, is expected to be completed later this year and will be the largest of its kind in the state.
