TFA suggests it's not split up:
> Intel will put a 916,000-pound "super load" on the road in Ohio on Wednesday, for a trip that will cover approximately 150 miles in nine days and snarl traffic for over a week...
> Four of these loads, including the one hitting the road now, weigh around 900,000 pounds — that's 400 metric tons, or 76 elephants.
> Intel's 916,000-pound shipment is a "cold box,"...
EDIT: Further information in the ODOT advisory detailing the schedule of this one shipment confirms 916k pounds is not split among multiple loads:
https://www.transportation.ohio.gov/about-us/traffic-advisor...
> This is the twelfth of nearly two dozen "super loads"... This load... measures approximately 23’ tall, 20’ wide, 280’ long, and weighs 916,000 pounds.
Presumably it didn't show you a 404 yesterday, as you then wouldn't have shared it.... and I can't work out why it would have been archived multiple times if it's a non-existant page....
Am I being an idiot and missing something? Is there an explanation for why it's 404?

(I don't particularly need to see the page's content, I'm just really puzzled by this 404 situation.)
> "around 20 super loads are being ferried across Ohio's roads by the Ohio Department of Transportation after arriving at a port of the Ohio River via barge. Four of these loads, including the one hitting the road now, weigh around 900,000 pounds — that's 400 metric tons, or 76 elephants"
So not all eighteen are quite so huge, but the biggest four are roughly 10x heavier than a typical large lorry(/truck) can handle.
