CYCOLOPEAN COMMUTER
- The Evening News, Published: Monday, March 27, 1979

Heads turned on Broadway in Newburgh Monday when this 40-ton cement and reinforced steel pylon, 160 feet long, inched its way through 6 p.m. traffic from Steel Style Inc. on 401 South Water St. towards Buffalo. It will support part of a bridge over Lake Chattauqua. About 250 more will be floated up the Hudson River from Bayshore Pile Co. in Virginia. The two-section trailer hauling the pylon had trouble getting up River Road where it picked up a New Windsor police escort and later was shepherded by City of Newburgh police to the Thruway.
