Anyone know what that is? It looks like red paint, it starts North of UB in the center lane, and continues onto at least the 90 east entrance. It had to be a crazy amount of whatever it is.

Wasn’t my company thankfully. I’d love to know who did it, it had to have been an entire pallet of paint tip over to cover that much distance.

It’s an incredible amount of whatever. And, it’s about 4 feet wide for most of the distance.

Noticed this today on the way over to Swerve. Anyone want to take a guess how long it takes for the paint to wear off?

Probably not long once winter/snow/salt hits it…

I was about 5 min behind that mess monday morning. They had him pulled over just after the tolls. I know on my way home that day the truck was still there with a hazmat looking crew cleaning up. Can’t remember the name but the trailer was white with i believe a tree looking logo on the front. It looked like barrels of paint not pallets that leaked. Either way it sucked.

Because spraying 55 gallons of paint on your building is fine, but spilling 55 gallons of paint on the highway and letting it dry by itself is an environmental catastrophe.

makes sense

edit: truck die? maybe its the die they put in kero?

cant picture someone dipping their peterbuilt in a huge vat of die in order to spruce it up again
