The transformer weighs 235,500 pounds, and the loaded vehicle weighs over 416,000 pounds. The load will be more than 117 feet long. The load is also more than 11 feet wide, and just shy of 20 feet high.
Superloads often require delays at intersections, as crews raise wires that hold traffic lights and other signage, so the truck can fit beneath.
