Rockefeller Center Christmas tree arrives in New York City after road trip from Maryland | CNN

This year’s Rockefeller Center Christmas tree has arrived in New York City.

This year’s Rockefeller Center Christmas tree got a well-earned police escort into New York City Saturday morning to cap off a lengthy road trip from Maryland. The 79-foot-tall Norway Spruce arrived Saturday morning on a flatbed semi-trailer and the NYPD Highway Unit helped it negotiate the city streets from the highway to its final destination.

We need Maryland and Delaware permits for it to travel because it’s an oversized load. It has to have special permits, special escorts – police escort, obviously – for security reasons and just to get it here safe,” New York Truck Escorts and Permits President Maureen Mandich told CNN affiliate WABC. Workers could be seen using a large crane to lift the tree into place on Saturday morning.
