Newark Interchange Opens Just in Time for Holiday Rush Capital City Group, with five branch offices throughout Ohio and West Virginia, has twenty-two years of experience in the crane business. Recently, Capital City Group took ownership of a new 110-ton (100 t) Link-Belt HTC-86110 hydraulic truck crane. Paired with an HTC-8690, the HTC-86110 recently lifted multiple bridge beams into place for a new partial cloverleaf interchange at Ohio 16 and Cherry Valley Road near Newark, Ohio. The new interchange replaces a traffic light that interrupted passengers’ commute along a 23 mi. (37 km) stretch of limited-access, divided highway from Interstate 270 in Columbus. The $31.6 million project opened Nov. 22. Operator George Spohn operates the new HTC-86110 that lifts during nighttime hours to avoid further traffic congestion. Over the course of two nights, a rolling road block is used while the HTC-86110 lifts from the median of Ohio 16 and the HTC8690 from the elevated Cherry Valley Road level above. Each crane uses flanged clamp rigging to hold each of the sections of steel. Once each section rests into place, the steel beams are bolted together to form a 115 ft. (35 m) section for each side of see INTERCHANGE page 2
