A massive tractor-trailer hauling a "superload" westbound across Pennsylvania is expected to cause traffic delays over the next week as part of a technically complex operation that has taken months of planning, PennDOT officials announced.

The 294-ton, 213-foot-long superload consists of an empty fuel tank from a decommissioned nuclear training site near Saratoga Springs, New York, where it left on Wednesday (Jan 12th) to begin a nine-day journey covering more than 400 miles.

The tank comes from a D1G Prototype reactor for the U.S. Navy at the Kenneth A. Kesselring site. It was decommissioned in 1996 and removed the following year.
