Before getting a permit to move the giant oil refinery equipment, Conoco Phillips had to agree shipping them would cause no longer than a 15 minute traffic delay for drivers behind them on the highway. A couple of nights ago, KREM 2 News was told the first shipment caused a 59 minute delay at a sharp curve on Highway 12 between Greer and Kamiah.
