Update 2016-10-23: Aerial photography and videos: US 84 HDD Withlacoochee River Sabal Trail 2016-10-22: what is that yellow thing in the river, and is that round thing you’ve marked a sinkhole?

Where would you guess Southeast Directional Drilling is based? Nope: Arizona. And the TRW truck has a Texas license plate. So much for local jobs where Sabal Trail is preparing to drill under the Withlacoochee River in Lowndes and Brooks Counties, Georgia, between Valdosta and Quitman.

Here is a playlist of WWALS videos, followed by a google map, and still pictures:

Below are Sabal Trail’s alignment maps for this area, followed by a google map, followed by pictures taken today mostly at Martin Lane in Lowndes County, on US 84 crossing the Withlacoochee River, and near the access road in Brooks County, GA.

PS: Sabal Trail also plans to drill under the Suwannee River in Florida, the Santa Fe River, and the other Withlacoochee (south) River that flows from the Green Swamp through Florida to the Gulf. See the Sabal Trail maps of all the river crossings.
