WTC BEAM TO TRAVEL THROUGH BAKERSFIELD

The huge metal beam from the World Trade Center that will become a permanent 9-11 memorial in Bakersfield will be slowly hauled through town Wednesday morning.

The 6.5-ton girder will be moved from Hwy 58 and Chester Avenue around 10:30 and travel via Chester Avenue to 21st Street downtown, then to fire headquarters on H and 22nd streets before stopping at police headquarters.
